Adjustable master w/ Tex dual...
I have all OEM hydraulics currently with my Tex dual and it works fine, but the engagement is pretty high up in the pedal travel. My question is am I at risk of over extending the clutch fingers? I'm thinking about an adjustable master to shorten the travel so I don't ruin my expensive new clutch, but only if it's a possibility.
Is this recommended by Textraila? Thanks guys.

Textralia, based on everything I have seen, strongly recommends that an adjustable NOT be used for that very reason. I believe it will also void any warranty you might have as well. Best to discuss with Textralia.
The high engagement may be due to not achieving full disengagement. I know Peter has a specific way he likes the clutch to be bled. I used his method and it worked fine. Basically, open the bleeder, press the pedal, close the bleeder, lift the clutch pedal. The manual calls for pressing the pedal prior to opening the bleeder.
Did you install a remote bleeder?

I didn't open the system when I did the clutch since the hydraulics were almost new (my Exedy only had a few thousand miles when the pressure plate broke). The Exedy engaged about half way up and felt perfect. No, I didn't install a remote bleeder. Wish I had though.
I thought the Tex's high engagement was due to the assembly being taller thus releasing further out. I thought that partial disengagement would make the clutch engage just off the floor. I'm wondering if the clutch isn't engaging fully with the pedal all the way out? I can drive the car perfectly by only depressing the pedal halfway down, this is what got me thinking I was pressing the pressure plate springs too far.
Maybe a modified stock master to shorten pedal travel would be in order?
