Default grinds into rev...

hope you dont have the problem a neighbor had on his s-10 (since we build cars we're the neighborhood final solve on car problems). after he had replaced lines, mc, slave, clutch/presspl, pin, trans.......he brought it by. the stock gm unit only travels 7/8"-1 1/8" and no more, it auto adjusts off of an internal spring/sliding valve when it first contacts the arm, thereby starting the travel. this one traveled only 1", still not enough, ground going into gear. bleeding didnt solve it. it was the thickness of the throwout bearing face that did him in. number same (rebuilt) with a hydraulic unit/arm/tbearing it's still static as to the dimensions, actually an easy problem to solve. the hydraulic fluid/line merely replaces the linkage.
