Paul, I finally got under the cobra to check the MC size. Wilwood Compact Remote Reservoir Master Cylinder .750" bore:

The other sizes available are .700 and .625 bore. So can I go down to move more fluid to the Tilton HTOB.

I inspected the HTOB and didnt see any leakage. I does look very close to the clutch forks, although I could rotate the bearing by hand. I know the forks will move closer to the TOB as the clutch disk wears thinner, but I don't think its a problem. I certainly don't have any slippage.

This is Saturday I will get the wife to depress the clutch so I can attempt to measure the movement distance of the HTOB.

Lastly, ironically, I drove it 200 miles last weekend and didn't have any problem shifting into first. Most of it was highway driving, but still didn't have a problem when I stopped. Its very erratic, this behavior.
