Hey everyone thanks for the replies, i just spent another 3 hours trying to vacum bleed, pressure bleed, played around with the MC rod adjustment (again) and nothing. It is still exactly the same, managed to have a look at pressure plate and all looks to be working fine, just not disengaging enough.
So before i remove the trans for the 6th or 7th time (lost count now) would it be worth trying a larger bore MC like say 7/8"?
I have a wilwood master and slave, on my car. I get 1.3 inch on the master and 1.25 on the slave. I would do as Del said and set it up on the bench. Can you call the maker of the bearing and find out what the stroke is supposed to be?
