[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 501856, member: 483"] OK so one of the reasons I originally replaced my original clutch was because 3/4 of my pedal did nothing and only 1/4 of it actuated 100% of the clutch action. So when I finished the 1947-ok-hd install that was resolved, I had a nice, full pedal, it acted like a dream when I was driving it. But when it was running sitting still and you tried to shift it into any gear it was damn near impossible. The clutch obviously wasn't being actuated completely. South Bend told me to get new stock hydraulics to fix that issue. I installed those today and that issue is gone but I am back to 3/4 of the pedal doing nothing and the last 1/4 doing everything. WTF??? I'm going to try some of the myriad of bleeding procedures I've read on the internet tomorrow despite the fact the the master/slave kit I got came "pre-bled." That's all I can think of. BTW, SB isn't giving me any warm or fuzzy feelings about all of this. I have no doubt that it is a great product, I felt how nice it was the instant I drove it. But their tech support has been basically non existent and the guy I talk to on the phone seems irritated that he has to speak to me at all, doesn't listen to what I have to say, is borderline rude, and is obviously just trying to get me off the phone as fast as possible. That and the manual that came with it is like 17 pages long and every page there are 3 new ways to void your warranty. And then on the registration card they ask for your ASE certification number, so I'm guessing since I'm not ASE certified my warranty is null and void from the get-go. Anyway, anyone got any advice on the hydraulics? The pedal is firm the entire length of travel like I would expect. Just the first 3/4 of it don't so **** and the remaining 1/4 travel is so little that its basically an on-off switch. There's not enough space to moderate your foot so you're either jerkign around by letting off too quick or slipping the clutch every time you take off. It was a very noticeable difference with the original hydraulics. I could tell the difference instant the truck first moved 2' in the driveway. [/QUOTE]
