Default Just finished my Ram Adj Master

Install wasn't bad and it fixed my problem of pedal stuck to floor.

I didn't bleed the slave after installing the hydraulic line back to the transmission due to problems getting a socket over the bleeder. Pedal seems a little light but the tranny shifts just fine.

The clutch pedal now sticks out further than the brake. Shouldn't I adjust it to be in line w/ the brake? I can't recall the exact position prior to the install. The clutch is still stock.

You adjust the pedal to where you want the clutch to where you like it. When I first hooked my master up it was even with the brake pedal but would not disengage the clutch. Stock pedal location is higher than the brake.

OK Thanks. Just higher than the brake is where I have it adjusted currently. I originally had it too high relative to brake and car wouldn't start. Thought it was the battery but it tested good. Finally determined it had to be a neutral start switch (or something similar) tied into the clutch pedal and the pedal was not traveling far enough to close the circuit. I adjusted the clutch towards the floor and car starts fine now.

I just want to make sure the pedal isn't too far from the floor which seems would cause clutch to slip against the flywheel when engaged.

Read the sticky thread at the top ^^^ stock adjustable master cylinder write up. There is the procedure at the bottom of the first post.
