Clutch disengagement

**6gear** · 10-25-2003 10:14 PM

My clutch engagement and disengagement is to close to the floor, not good for jamming gears, how can I get it to work with less pedal travel? I had a guy from SPEC clutches tell me that I needed a new master cylinder. The truck only has 30K miles on it so I am looking for more opinions.

My z28 did this, and it ended up being the slave cylinder, inside the housing.
A new setup is under $200 from the dealer, well this guy named Dal that does internet orders.
Or, like you said, go with a spec clutch assembly.

keep us updated,

will the "drill out mod" work in this case? havent heard much about it or cant give any thought about it, but i thought that was supposed to in essence make your master cylinder adjustable as far as pedal travel. i'd search ls1tech and see if anything comes up, i know im not going crazy.....or am i?

From what I understand the drill mod is for when the clutch pedal sticks to the floor at high rpm's. The orfice in the end of the line by the master cylinder is opened up so fluid can return faster, from what I can gather it doesn't help the other way.

sounds like Allen is right... ( as always )

oh stop it,

symptom of a weak slave cylinder, a mushy feeling, and the pedal goes too far down, it caused me to grind gears and it was hard to get into gear,

sounds like you may have it figured out going with the spec setup
