If the lever arm is coming up too far then something is wrong.  
How far does the lever arm come up before the pushrod contacts the clutch plate?  
I have just fitted my gearbox and my lever arm is reaching the horizontal position and then it stops due to the push rod hitting the clutch plate...........thats about right.
