Just make sure everything is bolted together before you play and you'll be fine. The pressure plate will keep it from going to far. Damage occurs when you push the pedal in while the transmission is laying on the garage floor.

not entirely true, in fact more fluid movement is one of the reasons for performing this. that is why you cut the internal stop. when you lengthen the rod (or raise the pedal) the throw is farther and more fluid is pushed.

Other possible solution is the Ram master still has the stock internal stop?

the throw of the pedal is not going to change unless you cut a hole in the firewall lol. it pushes the same amount of fluid. the only things that will change the amout of fluid is to incress the diameter of the master ie the mcloed unit uses a larger bore which incress the amout of fuild being compressed.

I on the other hand used the mod to extend my pedal possition. i didnt cut a section of rod off, rather cut it in half and extended the rod w/o it hooked up giving me a higher pedal. i had to for my swap. if i wanted to i could also get more throw out of it by extended the other portion of the rod into the bore. thats why i asked if anyone had ever poped a slave. youre wrong my friend .

um i have to disagree. lets say you made an adjustable MC cut the stop and thredded the rod. MC is bolted up and at stock length. if you "adjust" the rod the way the adjustable mod was inteded to work, the pedal hight will remain the same but still push the plunger into the bore further. now its like you have constant pressure on the clutch thus taking up the free play. so now that its adjusted and the pedal still sits in the stock location when you push the pedal down, the plunger is going to extend further than normal becuase you retained the stock pedal but the plunger is actualy already being pushed in. thats why they tell you to adjust the free play out when the fluid heats up do to expanding reasons.
