Reply to "Slave Adjustment"

Well, got the slave out using my little screw extension devise to push the arm out a little, then the slave was loose enough to get the clip ring out and free the slave. All I heard from the wife all week..."free the slave!!! free the slave!!!. Now once I have it out, I find that the slave still had over 1/4 inch more travel room to push in further, so I know for sure the slave wasn't topping out. Also the trans arm swings free too, so no binding there either within the trans. Also took a measurement of the stop point position of the trans arm before and after removing the slave, and it is the same distance. So basically, when the slave was in the car, I could not push it in more even with great force (even with both screws out at the top). But now when I position the slave back in the car and hold the top of it in place with one hand as if it was hooked up, and manually push in the clutch arm with my other hand, the slave rod moves back into the slave much more than it does when it is hooked up (so by hand I have play, and when hooked in place I couldn't even hammer it in). Only thing I can think of is that maybe my trans arm is too verticle, and it is somehow getting some bind with the slave when the arm returns and pushes in the slave rod. Maybe too verticle creates an odd angle pushing in the slave rod. But this doesn't explain why it wouldn't push in when hooked up, but I do it all by hand as explained above and it pushes in.
