Clutch adjustment?

Is there an easy adjustment to either adjust the pedal travel, or slave cylinder engagement?

thanks,

Hi Mike.

There is no real adjustment on these hydraulic systems. Is it possible you either have a problematic slave cylinder, or perhaps the clutch pivot is not properly engaged?

I know the slave cylinder is new -- so I suspect that is not the issue.
I didn't do the install on the clutch -- so I can't speak specifically to the clutch pivot.

I had the clutch custom made -- is there anything there that might have made it act similar to the clutch pivot issue.

I really don't want to disassemble everything -- I have too many other more pressing projects to invest that amount of time.

The only reason to not just physically stop the clutch pedal travel is to engage the starter switch. That might be a better short term solution if there isn't an adjustment.
