Default Little help?

OK 5 spd conversion done but clutch isn't working exactly right. Put it all the way to the floor and everything shifts fine. Let up the pedal about 1/16th of an inch and clutch engages. No shifting. How do I get the pedal to disengage sooner and engage farther up? BTw Ive bled the system like 5 times. NO bubbles are coming out and play seems fair and stiff

Posibbly the clutch fork isn't on it's pivot right..... or, you simply don't get enough travel from the slave cylinder. Crawl under, and watch what's happening while someone else pushes the clutch. Is there any adjustment to be done there? At any end of the system?

Clutch fork seems to travel fine. So far it seems like the slave isn't moving enough. Only moves about 1 inch per full depression of the pedal. Im not sure how to adjust it but im sure either that's my problem or my master cylinder may have a internal leak around the piston. Slave is brand new so I doubt that's it but im open eyed to it...

probablly has something to do with the way you set the pedal linkage up. lots of slack?

More or less on the slack. The clutch wobbles alittle on the master rod. Is there a way to adjust the pedal assembly or the cylinders? anything to increase travel will help. Maybe add a bushing or something to the pedal hangers?
