Default Textralia clutch adjustment help

I've got about 6k miles on my Tex now, when LG did the install the clutch would engage on the floor. Now the clutch engages way too high and is starting to slip a little as there is no play at the top. Is there any adjustments that can be made to fix this. The LG tech told me he had it adjusted all the way when it was first installed so I assume there is an adjustment. Any help is appreciated.

I am not aware of any adjustment on the OZ700 (single disc). I just installed one and its basically plug and play. I would cotact Textralia directly through the web site phone number or e-mail. They have been very helpful with any questions I have had.

Good luck, please post what you find out.

Talk to Textralia in the post above yours. I've never heard of any such adjustment, only thing you can really adjust is to get an adjustable MC (in my experience, anyway). If it's engaging high and slipping you've got bigger problems.

Textralia recommends against the adjustable due to overextension of the slave though. Whenever I have contacted them, they get back to me quickly. And it is morning in Australia right now so you should hear back fairly quick.

I noticed a lot of black sludge under the cap of the resevoir, time for a fluid change maybe?

Are there any other symptoms? Wondering if the pressure plate bolts are backing out. Textralia recommends red loctite on the bolts, do you know how LG installed it? They have installed a million of them so I wouldn't think this would be an issue, but it might be worth just asking them if they used loctite on the bolts. Although, if LG mentioned an adjustment there isn't one on the Textralia so I am wondering what they installed. The stock units have adjustments on them.
