Ok so I bought a good condition used hyper single. It is pretty nice and beter condition the my HKS was when I got it. I installed everything rgiht. I finally got to drive the car after finishing the assembly today and was struck with confusion.

The clutch didnt engage until it was basically 100% out. On top of that, it slipped so bad I stopped driving it. I called and talked to someone legit and he told me to adjust the clutch pedal. I have no goten it to the point where if I make the bolt any looser it will fall out. It helped alot but the FSM says the pedal to floor distance should be somwhere between 7.5?-7.9? inches. Mine is basically 7.

When I installed the slave it was hell. I had to do my damndest to get it on, releasing the fluid in it and still had trouble. I remember reading about people cutting the pins on the slave for some reason and I think this is why. My slave is brand new and works fine but I think the pin is a little too long and the clutch is just fine but I cant seem to figure it out.

We bled the system good today and it helped but not good to drive on the main road. I am going to bleed again tomorow and if that doesnt work I am cutting the pin shorter slightly to try and get it working. I have spare slaves with pins so its no concern to hack one.

Does anyone have advice on this of have had this problem befor?
