Can you remove the master? It's easy after that.

It helps alittle cause it does push more fluid. All you haveo to do is remove the line. Get a 1/8 drill bit. Drill down the middle of the line and clean it out and your done. I had an adj. master and took it off...did nothing waste of money.

So just disconnect the line from the resovior and the clutch and drill it out?
How long is the line, how long of a drill bit is needed?
I've seen the adjustable master from Tick Performance, looks really good, but like you said, waste of money right now.

The line total is probably 24-30" long. There is a roll pin on the master side and a quick disconnect on the slave side. You are drilling the master side. I just lined the drill bit up next to the line and marked it with a piece of tape where to stop drilling. It's pretty simple.

You might also get something to help bleed the clutch. Might vac, power bleeder, ...

I cut a hole in my tunnel with the trans out to make bleeding a 1 man job. Not sure how to get up in there without it. I just covered the hole after I was done, and you would have no idea it was there....

I would take the whole line off cause it has plastic crap in it after you drill it. youll feel it go throw the ball then just stop.
