Default Trying to get clutch master to clear brake booster

I need help or ideas to get my clutch master to clear my brake booster I'm taking my auto out and putting in a stick, are the brake boosters different from a auto to a stick? And FYI I got everything but the pedals out of a 01 dodge ram 1500

Did you follow the OEM instructions on installation because that matters.

I believe you must start by installing the refill tank first then back it is important to do it that way or the Ram 1500 parts don't work on a Dakota.

You can get the complete assembly from rockauto for $115 new its a one piece assembly not to be taken apart yes DO NOT take it apart.

When you get it don't cut the holding strap it snaps off on first use if you cut it before you install it my understanding is its almost impossible to get back in.

If you are thinking of piecing this stuff together don't do it as its very hard to impossible to get all the air out of the system after you open things up.

Many on this forum have tried and it never ends well $115 for the complete system is very cheap compared to many many and yes many hours trying to get the air out of the system and it still feels mushy.

If you can post a picture of your booster and clutch master cylinder setup, I'll tell you if it looks like mine.

Well when I got to work and had a chance I compared the parts, we'll I'm going to have to get the complete Assembly from rock auto . Com and use it because I can't get the connecting line that I would need if I just bought the items one by one....

Well, that sucks. But some parts are just better bought new, anyway.
