Just changed the master and slave clutch cylinders and clutch on my 98 Rav 4. The newer parts pushed the clutch pedal bite point way waaaay up. I tried to adjust the Toyota master's threaded rod but it had limited adjustment due to a stop in the "lump of a" clevis. I figured the 3rd party manufacturers in Japan would standardize and remembered that the Z had an open clevis so dug into my spare parts, grabbed a spare 280z master and swapped out the clevis. It worked like a charm:

- same rod diameter and thread

- same lock nut

- same cross pin hole size

- no stopper

I have a feeling that clutch masters and brake boosters from many Japanese cars may be swappable after this experiment... wish I had time to experiment further. I'd love to find a 1" dia or bigger master clutch for my 280z.

Why would you want a larger clutch master cylinder?

Shorter throw at pedal, same throw at transmission. It will allow pedal to be closer to the floor.
