1/4" longer slave rod?

[2GStreeT]

Well i have been reading and have seen that some say to get the 1/4" longer slave rod if im going to run a 2600+ for a clutch. Just wondering if this is a good idea or more of a waste of time?

I have been searching. and I found this thread that got lost in the time. I just wanted to update it.
I am about to do this and I was wondering if it is worth it?

Also from where I can get it?
From another thread says that I can use a bolt But what else can be done?
another one

P.S I guess I will let u know the difference tomorrow I will try it.

thanks in advance
Tito

From RRE:
"If you are having problems with a clutch adjustment, don't be tempted to try to lengthen the clutch slave cylinder rod. It may work for a few symptoms (worn pedal assembly mostly) but it is not the right way to fix things. In order to take up additional free play, it puts constant pressure on the release bearing."

Hell if the 1/4 socket extension is really the right diameter I'd be all over that one. A couple dollars and a dremel job later you got what you need. I wasn't going to get one. I got just enough adjustment out of my master cylinder for mine..but for that price I can't turn it down.

Thanks for the caution Defiant. I hadn't run into any negative info on this yet.

I fixed some transmission to block bolting issues and my clutch engagment is right smack in the middle now with the master adjust ment turned close to as far as it goes. My clutch petal isn't loose.
