Hello. I did mine last year.

Do not use the short pivot stud that comes in a master clutch kit. It changes the engagement point of the clutch. The longer one is the correct one. It now engages right at the top of the pedal travel instead of about 1/3 up from floor.

Do the RMS while right there. Consider front engine mount and water pump.

Well done Timco - excellent tip .Imagine having to R&R just to replace that stud with the original - assuming you kept the original and figured out the problem !
Pelican should add this to their Notes on clutch kits ?
