I ran the ajustments to where they are supposed to be and no. dice just a interment thing if I put the master where its Suppose to be can't shift and the peddle ill get some slip. I'm wondering if I should do a clutch and get the ajust done. I have 67xxx original miles on the devil.

September 16, 201212 yr comment_401733 It seems like the throw on the slave is not enough. You should be able to have a friend press the clutch pedal and you can watch it move by simply looking down through the engine compartment next to the battery. I think the throw on my 77 280z was ~ 35mm of movement (~1.4").Check this then report back to the post.
