i know this isnt the questions forum, but i figured i'd ask here first and see if anyone stumbling on this had the info i am looking for, before going to the help/questions section.
so, now that i have a brand new t5 in the truck, i'm realizing what i Thought was some worn synchos, is actually more likely the clutch not FULLY disengaging. like, it has a SLIGHT super light drag when the pedal is ALL the way in, and its still a little hard to get into gear.
now, normally, the solution might be, adjust the slave cylinder so there is a little more pre-load on there.
well, when i was putting the new tranny in, the guy who i had helping me, due to my arm still not being 100%, who owns a autoshop says "hey, i noticed you have allot of preload on that fork/throwout bearing. im surprised its not slipping at all under load"
to which i say, no no its fine.
but i think - aside from a few first or second gear spins, i've never actually Romped on this thing, because ive been doing the whole... nice 500 mile break in take it easy... thing.
so here i am, now with the engine broken in, and cruising down the street, in 4th gear, if i jump on the gas, i think im getting some clutch slip.
so i think im both not engaging eough, AND not disengaging enough.
i literally have, AS much clutch pedal travel as humanly possible. the pedal sits higher than the break, and iv'e actually bang in the firewall a little bit where the pedal swings down into it to let the pedal travel down a half inch or so more.
so, as much as i like the feel of the pedal right now. its heavy. its a Long throw. but its manageable, i think i need to go to a Larger aftermarket Master cylinder.
so here is my question for the ranger community.
what size bore and throw of the Stock ranger master cylinder?
i'm currently running a 93 or 94 i think Ranger master cylinder, to a 91 chevy camaro external slave cylinder.
i replaced both last season after the slave started leaking and the ranger master cracked at the seems on me, but this is what the chevy slave looked like, its a push style. so it sits on a bracket at the front of the tranny, and pushes the clutch fork towards the back of the truck.
the ranger master cylinders have a wonky angle to them because of the firewall/pedal geometry, so if i go with a standard aftermarket Wilwood, or Tilton, or Mcleod, or something, im going to have to buy an adapter bracket like this,

that bolts up like this
so if anyone knows what the stock master bore size is, that'd be awesome. i need to figure out that so i can go up a size or two, and hopefully a slightly larger bore master, will allow me to back off the preload on the slave side so im not slipping at all, AND get more travel out of the slave side to get me FULL disengagement.
i'll give this a week or so before posting it up in the tech questions stuff.
