HMR Street Drag Clutch Issue

I am having problems with the clutch disengaging still. Tried new hydrualics and that did nothing but spend money. So here is where we think we are. I put new clutch disc in while the trans was out incase anything was wrong with them from the input shaft breaking. I ordered them and they are suppose to be a direct replacement, but we are thinking they are thicker, making the fingers on the pressure plate pushed farther in. I measured the movement of the throw out bearing fork and pulled all the way back it is 3/8 to 1/2in, pushed all the way in it is 2 1/8 in. to the fork from the back of the slave cylinder hole. The rod on the slave cylinder is about 2 in long fully extended. If looking in from the bottom of the trans the pressure plate moves some, but not much. What are your thoughts or ideas on this one

I am running a HMR Street Drag clutch, this one http://haisleymachine.com/product_in...oducts_id=2370.

I won't call any names on this,but I have tried for over a week to find out some info on the phone with the place I bought the clutch from (not hard to figure that place out) and every time I call get told I will be called back, and have heard nothing back for over a week. Tired of waiting and calling for no reason. I seem to be wasting time using the phone and I need the truck back up and going instead of sitting in the corner. Really tired of calling with no results. I hate to post something bad about a company but .

Sorry for such a long post but I need some help on this or what to try next.

Thanks for any and all help.

I ordered two replacement disc to go in it, since the others had wear and the we weren't sure if anything was messed up when the input shaft broke. Everything is put back just like it was with the other disc and they are suppose to be a direct replacement.
