Got the idea from this post:

I do have a 2600 and had clutch drag in the past with a pivot ball that wasn’t shimmed. I have a headstud washer behind it and a competition clutch fork but wanted to go to extra mile to make sure I wouldn’t have any issues.
Used this part:
The exact part is also available at Autozone if you want to grab one locally and have the limited lifetime warranty:

This Luk one looks the same as OEM which is part # MB670290:
It has an 11/16 bore and fits the same as stock but the holes are not threaded internally so you will need:
2x M8-1.25x60mm bolts
2x M8-1.25mm lock nuts
2x M8 lock washers
You will need to transfer over the rod from your old slave to this one. The one it comes with is too short.
Bleeding it was fun to say the least… bled the line the the slave itself didn’t want to bleed at all. Finally got fluid going and bled it this way:
Step 1: Remove the bleeder.
Step 2: Push the slave all the way in hard and hold it closed.
Step 3: Keep holding it closed and reinstall the bleeder and tighten it down.
Step 4: Release the slave and repeat the process 3-4 more times. Make sure your reservoir is topped off before repeating each time.
Bled the line one last time and was all good
How to fix your clutch that won't release.
Over the years I've done a lot of testing with these cars. I've probably spent more money on testing clutches than an average build costs. - Not bragging, just saying I've tried a lot of stuff. One thing that sticks out, is virtually all performance clutches require more throw out bearing...
