Subject:      clutch cylinder - help

How far should the clutch lever move when the clutch is pressed all the way in?

When is it time to rebuild/replace my clutch cylinders? Any sure signs? I have had problems with my clutch since the dealer first replaced it. . .

One thing that bugs me is the "linkage" between the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch lever seems to be missing. It was never complete since I have owned the van. It was kind of home rigged, and I don't know what the real setup looks like. Pictures in the Bentley are pretty vague. All there is now is a steel rod pushing on the ball on the clutch lever. I don't have another van around to look at nor do I know anyone else that owns one for me to get an idea from.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks already.
