I had problems with mine dragging, and to eliminate that, I had to adjust the rod so that I was preloading the throw out bearing. Neither condition was acceptable in my opinion.

I had a 1 inch diameter slave cylinder, so took some 1 inch diameter stainless material I had in the garage and bored a 7/8 inch diameter sleeve to fit in the existing slave cylinder to get more stroke. Just got it completed yesterday and it works like a charm. No drag and no preload on the throw out bearing.

It does have a little more pedal pressure, but not that bad. I can live with it.

And sorry, I did not take any pictures while I was doing it. I have a spare slave cylinder here and I'm probably going to make up a spare in the next month or two. I will get pictures of that one if anyone is interested.
