I still have problems...
The master cylinder is a new rebuild from Sierra Specialty...and I bench bled
it...everything appeared A-OK.
I just tried using the clutch with the slave cylinder rod adjusted to it
longest length. At this point, it appears the clutch is fully disengaged from
the flywheel.
I adjusted the rod on the slave cylinder all the way the opposite way - very
short. And it appears the clutch is barely engaged. The wheels just spin. (the
car is up on stands).
In both cases the clutch pedal, and clutch cylinder rod on the master cylinder
travel about 1/2 their total travel before I feel resistance.
Any other suggestions? Help!
