240260280z Posted March 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited March 19, 2011 by Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Palmer Posted March 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 19, 2011 Why would you want a larger clutch master cylinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280z Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted March 19, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
