I just put in an ACT 2100 clutch in my 92 and after reading several threads saying to shim the pivot ball with an aftermarket clutch....somehow my dumb ass neglected to do it and I even remember a quote from one thread.
"Don't come cryin' back here when your clutch engages just off the floor"
I won't lie,that clutch install owned my ass and took almost 3 weeks,I don't want to take it all out to shim the pivot ball. So while reading up on the Band-Aid extended slave rod and not to do it ,I thought about shimming the pivot ball and the extended slave rod and wouldn't both of those essentially be the same Band-Aid fix? The pivot ball shimming would change the fulcrum height and while the extended slave rod wouldn't,it would accomplish essentially the same thing by extending the travel of the fork ... making the clutch engage higher off the floor.
Am I thinking about that wrong?
