Default Anyone with a Mcleod Adj Master????

This is what i got a new Mcleod DD, Adj master, and new Z06 Slave. I had some issues earlier that got resolved that the clutch did not engage. But now everything is working except the clutch pedal after engaging creeps or is slower then before with the factory setup. Is this normal? I mean it still comes up but is alittle slower mainly. I did search and nothing or anything came up even close other then the usual clutch sticks to floor episode. But this is not the case. Anyone experiance this or is this another one of my Bad experiances that no one ever seems to get lol.

i have not experienced your description of a problem, but just going to remind you that bleeding the clutch will probly help if you havent already done it.

THE MCLEOD IS ONE OF THE BEST MODS I'VE DONE, i can now shift at high RPMS and wasnt able to before.

Welcome to the Devil of McLeod dual disc pressure plate. The borg and beck lever style plate they use is horrible for pedal feed back. What you describe is exactly the same as everyone I have been in.

I have on in my car , my partner in crime has one , and I just installed one in a customers car (not the clutch , but the M/C) . This is what I have found. This M/C is a neccessity on some aftermarket clutches. I always have problems getting cylinder mounted to bracket. My car and my partners car installation and bleeding PIA but all work as designed. The one I put in my customers car we had more problems with . Seems that the pedal stop was too short for the M/C to fully return , casuing the compensation port in the M/C to remain covered. The M/C rod was adjusted full short, but still couldn't have M/C fully return. This made bleeding a bitch ( like it wouldn't do it ). This is probably more than likely your problem also.If the port is blocked yourpedal return will beslow because the port is blocked.Get under your dash and remove reatining clip for clutch pedal rod. Remove rod, you should be able to reinstall rod EASILY. If not your clutch stop is too short.Readjust your M/C rod to full short. If you can still not install EASILY you will have to grind on pedal stop (left side of clutch pedal, grind on clutch pedal bracket, not pedal ) to gain more release travel. Clutch in that car worked great after fixing pedal travel. Hope this helps.

Any one else make this larger bore M/C ???? $300 + for this POS is crazy!!!!
