Slave Cylinder / Clutch Setup

This has been an issue for me since I swapped the hydraulic throwout for the slave/fork. I have everything adjusted out all the way and I still feel like I need just a bit more. There are adjustments for the linkage itself in the footwell and you should be able to unscrew the rod that goes into the master a bit to give you more throw. I am not familiar with what came with the Lonestar, but you shouldnt have to mess with the master. You should be able to get it dialed in with the linkage and slave.

With the pass. side pivot I continued to adjust the pivot ball, to try to gain more TO bearing travel, to the point the fork was interfering with the pressure plate housing. With the drivers side pivot, I used the pedal adjustment, adjusted to the floor, as a pedal stop, to limit the TO travel.

When the slave is mounted to the frame the movement of the motor can change the distance ( adjustment ) of the slave.
We build a bracket and mount the slave to the trannie / bellhousing and not the frame.

The further to the rear of the car the slave is attached to the frame, the less the engine movement will have an effect on the slave. It won't take much distance before the engine movement will be insignificant.
