Hi
I just had my clutch rebuilt at the local Dodge dealer. I have a 1992 xj with 135k, the slave cylinder inside the bell housing and was loosing fluid. So I asked them to replace the master, slave and clutch.
So I got it back today and the pedal travel doesn't seem right to me for a new clutch. The gears don't disengage until I'm one or two inches from the floorboard. I get good resistance all the way through the pedal but it seems like it should disengage the transmission closer to the top of the pedal with a new clutch.
Is this the way it should be? Does having a new clutch plate act this way or did they mess something up?
They charged a pretty price for this and I would like to think they did a good job but it just feels weak. Anyone want to give me some advice?
Thanks
Marc
