Default Monster Clutch Owners.... A quick question

Ok, so I have a built t56/monster lvl 3/tick

My question is where is the engagement/disengagement point on your clutch pedal? My clutch "bites" up top, like almost at the full release point of the pedal. It has been like this for about 3 months, and it seems that the more i adjust it the further it bites up top. But if its not adjusted like that then the tranny doesnt shift smooth at WOT.... Where is the engagement/disengagement on your clutch setups? and is this something that I should worry about???

Mine's fairly high too, but not so much it's annoying or causing any problems. I know I had to get used to the new engage/disengage point after installation. That "window" so-to-speak is more narrow than before and I can pretty much keep my heel on the floor and just from the range of motion of my ankle is enough to engage/disengage and change gears. Definitely took a little getting used to.

i have a stage 3 with the tick master and my engagment is high and window is narrow aswell. i have no problems but it does take some getting used to. adjusting the clutch will not change the fact that the engagment point is high...all it does is push the clutch down more. mine is adjusted a little above my brake pedal

bring it back. i have the same exact setup at the OP and just finished adjusting it and same as everyone else, high and narrow, but it feels good
sits right at the same height as the brake pedal and fully disengages within less than and inch, but i feel its engaging a little high but shifting is still a lil notchy, but i dont want to adjust it out more since its fully disengaged after that 1 inch

SHOULD I ADJUST IT MORE OR NO?

Any clutch we've ever installed kept the stock window more or less. What I noticed is the ease in which the clutch engages...very smooth compared to other clutches I have owed, installed....

Adjusting the master should impact the engagement point. If it doesn't then something is amiss. That is the point of the adjustable master afterall. Perhaps there is air in the system that is affectively absorbing the changes you make to the rod length. You might want to try mighty-vacing the system to see if any more air comes out and gor from there. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,
