What car?

Sorry, I left that out:  75 TR6

The TR6 is notorious for clutch engagement.

Yeah, that's what makes me think this is normal. I just wanted a data point to compare it. Given a stock setup with new components, the pushrod should move a certain amount...

Changing clutch
cross shaft lever holes can help.  A larger diameter master cylinder or a
smaller slave cylinder diameter can also help.

So far, I'm not sure there's a problem. Drove 10 miles or so, and only missed one downshift. Could have been me, I suppose. The car shifts fine, otherwise. It's just that, with the trans tunnel off, I can see that the lever doesn't move a whole lot.

Of course, when you think about it, the brakes really don't move a whole lot either, and they manage to get the job done. So maybe I'm thinking too much. That's happened before...

Got my clutch problems sorted out, now everything is new except the
upper pipe...No air left when I bleed, etc.

So I'm curious:  How much should the pushrod move when I press the
pedal?  The car changes gear OK, but I feel that I'm right on the edge
of it not working....and it doesnt' look like it moves much more than a
half-inch or so.
