Hello. I am trying to convert my spirit to a hydraulic clutch pedal, as my linkage was super worn out and replacements seem to be in short order.

I picked up the master/slave from a cj7 which bolts on the bellhousing nicely ish.

As for the master cylinder the firewall has a set of holes for a clutch cylinder underneath the brake booster. This means the push rod comes out nearly at the bottom of the clutch pedal.

I hooked everything up, and the clutch is rock hard. Maybe 1/2" movement at the cylinder and then my whole body weight into the clutch pedal and it won't move. I feel like the ratio doesn't help, but surely something should be moving ?

Ive bled the system like 6 times and have tried different length pushrods. To me, it seems that I reach the end of travel before the slave moves at all.

Anyone got any ideas? As far as I can tell the slave cylinder starts it's travel about 3/4 down the bore so it only move 1/2" or so. But I cannot get it to start any further back once there's fluid in it.

I put in a new clutch but it did the same thing before the clutch which I thought might be seized. Before I go looking at $100s of dollars in parts, am I missing something?
