im having a disengagement problem with my clutch...
i mean, i can drive it, and i have good pedal feel.....but its at the VERY BOTTOM of the stroke that it grabs and releases. i have a brand new master cyl, and a brand new slave... and im almost 100% positive that theres no air left in there.
so now my only thoughts are..... perhaps im not getting enough pedal travel? i have LT1 pedals in my camaro... perhaps the piviot point of the LS1 pedals is lower on the pedal, giving more stroke?
what pedals are you using? ideas?

I solved it by installing a McLeod adjustable master cyl. Lots of $$ but I like being able to put the pedal height right smack where I want it for road course use.
It's entirely possible that the LT1 pedals don't put the master rod at the same distance from the pivot as LS1 car pedals I suppose.

the distance the factory master cyl rod travels into the bore is only 1"??
