Reply to "Is anyone using a Wilwood Clutch Master Cylinder?"

I'm running the Mcleod clutch and throw out bearing carrier as well as the Wilwood 0.75" master cylinder.  I've tried both stock and long throw slave cylinders but still have a hard to push clutch pedal.

I pulled the ZF last month to check everything out.  I found the fork inside the ZF that engages the throw out carrier was wearing unevenly.  This caused the carrier to slightly twist and was uneven along the travel on input shaft.  This caused some binding/resistance in the middle of the travel which created galling on input shaft.  Notice the fork finger on the left is worn down and was making less contact with the carrier bearing.   It took me a while of studying the travel with the ZF out of the car.

I cleaned everything best I could at it is improved but still stiff.  I think the solution is to replace the input shaft and fork assembly but I'm saving that for another time.
