[The Dreamer]

I need to find out how much travel you get out of your slave cylinder. I know the Kirkhams recommend a hydraulic TO bearing, but I've heard too many horror stories about them and I'm hard headed. Anyway, I had them put in a .75 master cylinder for the clutch and I'm using a .875 (7/8") slave cylinder. I know a couple of people have said they are using this setup and Shelby uses this setup on their cars, but I'm having to preload the pressure plate to get the clutch to release. I'm only getting about .5" of travel out of the slave. This seems low to me. After numerous adjustments, I still get about the same amount of travel and we have bled this thing to death. I'm using a TKO600 and Shelby block engine.

My next step is to peek into the pedal box, but I would like to know if anyone has some ideas about what could be robbing my slave cylinder of stroke.
