Default Link to make a home-built adjustable master cylinder

Besides grinding a whole lot, my new clutch and flywheel combination doesn't do much when trying to shift at high RPM.

I remember reading an article on making your own adjustable master cylinder, and I want to do this to mine, but I can't find the article. My clutch disengages right at the floor, and I'm thinking this is the cause of my problems.

Please post the link if you have knowlege of where it is. Yes, I searched, but I didn't find it.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. I was running a Spec flywheel and stage III, but it crapped out on me. I'm now running the spec flywheel ground down, and a new LS6 clutch.

Compared to the $15 it would cost to modify my own, I don't want to pay the $150 for a modified OEM master cylinder.

Thanks a lot,
Ben T.
