Not Ranked
So I we determined I need at least 0.35" at the clutch, which translates to 0.6125" at the slave, minimum. I bled the thing about 6-7x and adjusted the rod so it almost has no play. And after all of that I'm only getting 0.607" (measured with a caliper/depth gauge). I jacked the rear up and had my wife depress the clutch all the way, and I couldn't get the wheel to turn. So it's definitely not disengaging. Everything feels fairly tight and certainly not spongy. The clutch begins to engage pretty soon.
Update: I adjusted the clutch pedal because it occurred to me that may be a limiting factor. It was, but somehow it still didn't solve the problem. With more clutch pedal travel (and the footrest of the clutch pedal being out of position), I'm getting only 0.826" travel at the slave end of the fork. That *should* be enough, but it still doesn't disengage (jack the car up, put it in gear, depress the clutch, try to turn the wheel). I can turn the wheels when the trans is in neutral. What else could be the problem here?
