Will I hurt the master cylinder if I adjust the rod out too much

[Aaron91RS]

I had to adjust the clutch master cylinder rod out so it was just threaded flush under the dash.


After my POS ACT came apart in to 8 pieces I put in a new one.
Again it engages JUST off the floor and really unless I stomp it hard its not safe to drive.

The pedal assembly has already been taken out and welded BTW to get rid of the wallowing problem.

Anyway I want to weld or sleave an extension so I can unscrew the master clutch rod a bit father. I'm worried at some point though when I push it in it will just hit the far side of the master cylinder housing and ???

Is it just going to stop the clutch pedal. Will it break the plunger and blow out the master cylinder?

No sir you woll not. You are more likely to hurt the slave, slave rod, clutch assembly and clutch linkage. The rod is there for you to adjust. It ends up where it ends up.

If you have to adjust it to far.
Something else is already hurt.
Maybe the pivot ball or clutch fork
Did you check the step on your flywheel?Is it within spec?

I would seriously look into the things i stated above first.If one of thos is your problem it will have to be corrected sooner than later.
But if you insist on welding an extension i would do it on the slave, easier to get to,easier to replace and cost less to replace.

I second checking the clutch fork/pivot ball. I would want to fix the problem and not "band-aid" it so to speak.
