Clutch pedal height ...

How much free play do you have at the slave, clutch arm stop? I sounds like you must have none or your clutch is shot. http://www.panteraplace.com/page124.htm

Mike, I read your article and have a question regarding the length of the pushrod, You say "From the center of the push rod eye to the end that contacts the slave piston it should be 3.07" to 3.09". long." Is this measurement for a stock slave cylinder? Anyone know the correct measurement for the aftermarket "long throw" slave cylinder?

I believe the 3.07-3.09" measurement is the same for any slave, since the difference between stock & long-throw slaves are in bore diameter & stroke, but they all start from the same point with the piston bottomed against the snap-ring retainer. My experience is, the slave AND master cylinders wear out pretty much as a set and replacing one often causes the other to fail rapidly.

Mike,

Great call, you were right on the money.
Readjusted my slave cylinder clearance, per your instructions and everything is absolutely perfect, totally brought the car together. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ..
