Default slave replacement

month or so ago i installed a rebuild kit in my tick/tilon slave, went ok. adjusted the clutch a cpl times, is driveable,
cuz i don t use it a lot anyway, but when i use the pedal to shift, is a little notchy getting out of gear most times, was never like that before. I have it adjusted so the car in the air, stuff into gear, and the wheels just creep, but i can stop them easily with one hand and no pressure. Am wondering if i am missing something in the adjustment or there may still be air in the system ? i bled and bled, and bled some more, was sure i got it all out, but who knows.
TIA

lol but I'm. a hater of that stupid mc had mine for 10 years im over a 1000hp. The best mod I ever did was put the stock mc back on. Car is back to stock feel. But since u have it jack up your back tires and start from there. Make adjustments intell tires stop moving with clutch presses

well i think i have it... need some fine adjustment i believe. adjust so the wheels don t turn in nuetral
and don t turn when in gear. Took it out and now the clutch engages about 2.5 -3 inches off the floor i m guessing
Not used to that, was about 1" off before. still have a bit of free play on top, not much tho, may crank it down some
and move it closer to the floor and get a little more play on top. Or just leave it and see how it goes

There's nothing wrong with fine adjusting. Its your comfort on how the engagement is. Thats what its for. If it doesn't get where you want, you will get use to it.
