Subject:      Clutch pedal goes only halfway
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


'84 Westy, 1.9L WBXR


I am less than a week away from installing my 1.9L (to 2.2L GoWesty kit (keeping the 1.9 case)).  While the engine has been at the machine shop I've taken the liberty of replacing several 28 year old components. 


Specific to the clutch, I replaced the master and slave cylinders, and throw-out bearing.  While bleeding the system, I note that the pedal depresses only halfway.


So, what do you think?  This is my first time at this, so I don't know if things shape up after everything gets installed, but I need to get this curiosity resolved before I close things up. 


I also installed new rear drum brakes (whole system) among other things, and will be installing the VanCafe clutch kit. 


Your wisdom, experience, and advice is appreciated.
