You should take your measurement with the lever pulled toward the rear removing the play. When the engine accelerates, the levers will move rearward, not forward. The clearance you're measuring for is to account for clutch disk and steel wear, because as things wear down the levers will also move rearward gradually. Periodic stand height adjustments will keep this in check though... If the levers bottom out the tob, you won't be applying the load of the counter weights as rpm increases. More air gap really will never hurt with a hydraulic slave unless you have so much that you risk pushing the bearing past its limit when the clutch is disengaged.... with the hydraulic, the bearing will stay up against the levers until high rpm pushes it back some, so there really isn't an gap there after the pedal is pressed.
Damn. Going to have to move the engine forward or get the driveshaft shortened. My CF driveshaft only has about 3/16 of an inch before it’s maxed all in. Maybe you have the 1/2” to play with but I doubt it.
You could of bought a adjustable clutch that would of fit in that bellhousing from the get go and avoid moving things around . Said at the start u had nice parts just not the right ones which would lead to alot of probs. Which most did . Sell that thing and buy a black magic . He will also help u tune it which is worth more then the clutch at this level
There’s a lot more to it, I’ve talked with McLeod several times and they told me the clutch is designed for what I’m doing. If this ends up not working I’ve been thinking about Bill Armstrong’s digital clutch controller “bang shift billy” and a big diaphragm style clutch. He’s been bottom 8’s maybe even high 7’s on the setup and the adjustability is done via an app. Have you seen it?
I’m talking from experience and have used a hitmaster to bottom 1.3s with a rxt … I have a black magic clutch that fits in the sfi bellhousing of a corvette … the bang shift and the next shift v2 are both great with diaphragm clutches . The hitmaster like I used was also badass just not digital or that advanced . McLeod soft lock isn’t on par with a bmc . Cale helps most of these larger companies designs and has superior ones like the defiant . They sold you on a clutch u don’t need imo . The last thing I will add ti this is look at stick records … it’s either a black magic or a advanced . You also don’t have the tuning support from one of the best in the business buying a McLeod

It’s a adjustable clutch not a slipper clutch . You will get a lot of shit for using that term 😂 . There a game changer tho
