Hi Guys,

I believe I have my clutch problem solved. My Unique came with a 3/4" master and So. Auto put a 1" slave on my Bell housing. After talking to Wilwood and a bunch of other folks, I was convinced that the master should be no more than an 1/8"smaller than the slave and mine was a 1/4" smaller. If you go with an equal size master and slave, the peddle effort will be too high.

This weekend my Wilwood 7/8" master came in and, after installing it, my clutch now works flawlessly. I obviously had a mismatched master and slave cylinder and the 3/4" master wasn't providing enough fluid to the slave to get full slave travel. Now when the wheels are off the ground and the clutch is depressed, the tires don't rotate and I can reach back and turn them by hand. It goes into reverse now without grinding or having to shut the engine off first.
