master cylinder or shim?
master cylinder or shim? my prob is when the clutch is fully pushed to the floor the car still is in gear. its not locked in gear or anything like the tranny is bad, with the car off i can pull it out of gear. the weird thing is that the car has drove fine for over a year now with a spec 5 and no shim. and just randomly this happened, im leaning towards the stock 01 master cylinder being the prob its gave me probs since day one of the clutch install. anyone ever hear of headers cooking the stock steel braided line from the resvoir to the master cylinder. its randomly made smoke from their but i never could pin point it then bout a week before this hydraulic prob happened i thought i saw smoke coming out of the line next the header. any infor would be appreciated... thanks adam

Well what insight I can provide is this. I installed the Ram HD clutch set with its shim which was like 1/4 of an inch or so. I had my spec flywheel resurfaced (.040 ground off) and did NOT put a flywheel shim in. Just the shim behind the slave. And its working great 500 miles later with engagement at the top of the pedal. I would bet that now your clutch disc is worn down to the point where without the shim it isnt getting fully disengaged...
