I bought one of the replacement clutch slaves from napa today but a truck I have been looking at showed up at the dealer. PM me if you want this thing. San Jose

Never mind I told myself I would regret it if I didn't at least try it so I installed it today. It was easy. Clutch feels pretty awesome now. Pedal pressure is closer to the brake pedal pressure feel but a tad lighter. The stock slave should have been an upgrade part. It's almost like they assumed you would install a heavier clutch.

I had it at minimum height just prior to installing the slave. It worked but I was getting a little bit of binding on quick shifts. After the installation the binding is gone with no adjustment to pedal height. I think the pedal rose a little higher due to the new slave.
