7mge clutch problem

I'm doing a 7mge swap into my 86 toyota pick-up. It was a w56 tranny which is the same bolt pattern as the w58 supra tranny. I bought a bellhousing and clutch fork from an 82 supra. I bolted it to my tranny and bolted a 7m flywheel and clutch assembly to the motor. I bought a throwout bearing for an 88 since that's what the clutch assembly is. When I finally mated the motor to the tranny and when I moved the clutch fork to make sure everything was good, it moved no problem, but too much! It DID NOT make contact to the pressure plate from what I can tell. On all of the swap sites it says that 82-92 n/a bellhousings will work. Are they all the same? are 5m and 7m throwout bearings, slave cylinders and clutch forks the same too? I'm stumped why the clutch fork would be able to move fowards and backwards without contacting the pressure plate. Any help would be great.

So I took it all apart, everything looked good. I called the parts store and verified that the throwout bearing is the same for an 82 and an 88. So that either leaves the clutch fork or bellhousing. OR, is the clutch fork 'allowed' to jiggle around until it had the hydraulic pressure on it from the slave cylinder? How much play should there be...how much is too much?
