I don't think it does when the motor is not running. I think it feels normal. I will have to check when I get home from work.

When I installed the HTOB, I set it with about 0.1" gap from the pressure plate fingers. Last week I checked and there was no gap. I had to screw in the adjustment ring a turn or so to get the gap back.

This has made me remember that a month ago when I bled the HTOB, I had to refill the fluid in the clutch reservoir - it was about half way down before I flushed it.

There are no mechanical noises. The clutch doesn't seem to grip any differently than before. The RPMs don't skip while accelerating in high gear. No burning smell. Just the pedal *feels* different making it hard to engage smoothly.

Edit: I just talked to my transmission guy. He suggests checking the TOB for leaks but thinks it is more likely the master cylinder since I can feel it. He says that if it were the slave/HTOB that more than likely it wouldn't feel differently, just wouldn't operate as efficiently. Air could get in the line reducing the hydraulic force, causing the bearing to push less, resulting in grinding gears, difficulty shifting, etc.

I'll look for the leaks (I don't want to pull the tranny), then remove the master cylinder to check it.

Other thoughts?
