I’ve replaced the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. And I’ve bled the system . There’s. No slipping of the clutch . Car has 60,000 on it with I’m sure the original clutch. Is there any way to make it catch more mid way when I depress the pedal? I know there are no threaded rods on either the pedal box or at the transmission end . Maybe a different length rod coming out of the slave cylinder? <br>
Thanks , Don <br>
