Default Any way to adjust an LT1 clutch?

I have a 94 Formula and the clutch doesnt engage until nearly the top of its travel. I'm talking by the time its fully engaged, or what I think is fully engaged, the pedal doesnt move any further, so maybe 1-2" from the top.

Is there any way to adjust the pedal to engage closer to the middle of the range, or is the clutch just on its way out the door?

There is no bleeder on lt1s. You can buy the whole assembly including master, slave, and resiovor all together from gm for a little over $200 dollars. You can use washers on the slave to space it out a little. My centerforce was the same way.

The reason you are prolly having this problem is that your flywheel has been turned down alot. You can use a shim behind your flywheel that will fix it but it wouldn't be very practical.
