DO NOT PUT IN A SHIM!!!!!!!!
This clutch is a direct bolt on application. NO SHIM. The pedal will feel like that for a little while. Its a higher performance clutch & it adjusts itself over time. You go sticking a shim in where its not needed & your problem will not get any better.
Listen to those of us who have actually installed this clutch system & are running it. I actually liked mine engauging right off the floor. Now its back to normal. Mine has been in for a couple months now & I love it.
Be patient & let it do its thing. It will go back to the stock engaugement point.

My ls7 has been acting up lately, and engaging right off the floor, ive had it all summer. The fluid is black, im sure there is air in it. Give it time if it doesnt cleawr up bleed it. Still have problems ull have to look into it further
It feels like it might be starting to come up a bit... Been taking the opportunity while at a red light or while coasting to a stop to pump the clutch pedal, hoping to emulate more of the stop and go type clutch work more quickly... Have a track event coming up in a month and I would really like this thing to return to something close to what it was before then...
Well, looks like I'm going to have to do the master cylinder... Doing that tomorrow, along with the drill mod... Are there any pitfalls I should watch out for while I'm doing this?
Drill straight using a pair of locking plyers. And also when you reinstall the master to the firewall put the u bolt back in and have some in your car guide it into the fire wall, or else you will wrestle it for a while. hope this helps.

well I have had my cltuch for 6k miles now and it still grabs too close to the floor. It makes it a pain in the *** to go through the gears fast. One hard run from 1st and it makes it hard to get 3rd. When I am at the track, by the turn off, it is right off the floor. I have bled my system so much its not even funny. Seems to just be one of the issues with this clutch.
That's what concerned me when I had mine installed. It seemed like the clutch would engage as soon as the carpet pile became uncompressed. I could not shift gears unless I turned off the engine. I threw in a slave shim to reduce my frustration. But months have gone by, and I still have an issue where the shifter won't slide right in as soon as the pedal hits the floor on a speed shift. I need to add a little delay.
The sponsor shop who did the work advised they had been having more success with the updated GM hydraulics than the various adjustable masters. So they talked me into replacing my McLeod with a new GM Master and I had them bore out the line restriction. They told me mine was the first LS7 clutch they had installed.
I'm tossing around the idea of putting the McLeod master back in, but I am worried I'll make an inconvenient issue worse. SPEC told me that the Stage 2 and 3 clutches I bought from them were self-adjusting as well. However, the McLeod worked great with them. What's the difference?
