Looking for an adjustable clutch link.

Pretty sure Rob Grady would have one of those

Thanks for the lead, I'll give Rob a ring tomorrow.

Not sure why you would want one. This was a “fix” for the clutch. Flee they realized that the plastic clutch line was the issue and aftermarket came out with the stainless braided line. The adjustable link is Not recommended to use on a car.

My clutch releases extremely close to the floor.
New: clutch, pressure plate, T/O bearing, pilot bearing, master cylinder and slave cylinder. Flywheel was cut to spec. I have had the stainless line in my car for a decade or two. Still when I release as little as 1/4-1/2" of the clutch pedal off the floor, I take off. I guess I could always check the linkage for wear but it is annoying when it is THAT slight of an amount and you're off to the races.

I should add that I also power-bled the system and there is nothing wrong with my clutch fork.

There's an owner near me that has the same thing with his clutch. And, I've driven another that is the same way. Not sure I have the answer, but check to make sure you aren't hitting carpet or floor mats with the pedal so it's not fully coming out.

I have a sleeved master and slave, one piece clutch line (ss braided) that goes from slave to clutch, new clutch with 0.018" flywheel , and my pedal releases about halfway in the stroke.

Sometimes the floor mat rides up there and I have to pull it back, so it does happen sometimes but I typically check it and move it down every time I get in the car. My flywheel was cut to .020", not sure if that makes a difference. The MC is a DMCH unit and the Slave is a D-Go Brembo unit. I'm not sure on the quality of the slave, it was either that or D-Go's china unit, or DMCH's slave cylinder. Would there be any reason to try a different one? I didn't notice any wear when I took the linkage down to install the new master cylinder, but I did notice on both the new and old, that the pedal has more free play than I would like before the push rod engages the piston, and that is why I was thinking the adjustable linkage would solve this. Maybe my clutch/pressure plate just need to wear in?

0.020" is factory specification, I went with 0.018" which is what Toby suggested when he sold me the clutch kit.

Regarding the cylinders, both my cylinders are OEM cores that were then sleeved and re-sealed by PJ Grady. I could see how a Brembo (or any crossover / non-OEM) unit might have a slightly different bore size so perhaps it doesn't move as far as the stock one does under the same hydraulic pressure? I don't have enough experience with various hydraulic units to do more than speculate though. If you really hate the clutch feel you could get used cores from someone and get them sleeved, and try those.

Thanks man, I'll give that a shot and leave the adjustable linkage as a last resort.
