Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

HemiDenny said

I think lengthening the rod might actually give a shorter stroke by decreasing the travel.

you really should do the pedal mod.....I bet your current clutch pedal 5-1/4" from the spring catch to the rod attaching point.....lengthen the clutch attaching end to 5 7/8"-6" and you will definitely add the travel you need.

Thanks, I actually did the pedal mod when I originally installed the Hemi and 4 speed. It was indeed 5 1/4 but is a full 6 inches now, as per Post #7. In my case the pushrod being lengthened does give me a bit more travel. It takes the slop out at the top of the rod and does not change the pivot at the bottom. I can't go any further forward with the Z Bar as it will hit the starter. I've already notched the Z Bar to get another 1/2 inch. I all feels good now. I'm going to wait until I get my door back on and see how it works on the ground. Thanks for your ideas, I'll let you know what happens.
