I tried the test that Jack has on his site by revving the car up in first gear with the clutch in. The car starts to move forward at around 7500 rpm not below 7200 rpm. Is this a pass or fail? I wonder if it makes any difference during the test that the GVR4 has a different first gear.

The real question is whether or not the car is supposed to move forward at any RPM??

Thanks!

(Came back and tried again....car begins to get jerky at around 6800 rpm by around 7500 rpm it is even more jerky but never quite pulls forward).

I take it that this is a sign of a minor disengagement issue?
 
I tried that test on my car once and it creep up like a half an inch then stop. I myself is not sure if that is normal. But I never have problems with my master cylinder.
 
That is about my experience too. Wasn't a smooth 1/2 inch movement, pretty jerky feeling.
