Default Re: Clutch pedal not to floor

Normally, the clutch pedal and brake pedal will sit at approximately the same height. If the clutch pedal stops 3/4 of an inch before hitting the floor, when released it should sit 3/4 of an inch above the brake pedal. If this happens, the possibilities are 1) clutch master cylinder spacer omitted (you have checked this and it is fitted), 2) clutch pushrod too short, 3) clutch master cylinder bore / stroke not to spec.
If the clutch pedal stops 3/4 of an inch above the floor but sits at the same height as the brake pedal when released, this suggests that the clutch slave cylinder may be reaching the end of it's stroke and causing the problem. Another possibility could be that the slave cylinder pushrod is not correctly mated to the clutch release arm. Or, the slave cylinder bore / stroke / push rod length is not to spec.
For reference, the clutch master cylinder bore is 11/16 of an inch (17.7mm) with a stroke of 27.5mm. The clutch slave cylinder bore is 1 and 1/16 of an inch (27mm). For every 25mm of clutch master cylinder movement, the clutch slave cylinder moves 10.75mm.
I hope this may help.
