Ok, this is on my 91GVR4.

Freshly rebuilt trans from TRE.

New Fidenza aluminum flywheel.

Competition clutch Stage 4 using included TOB.

Shimmed the fork, would not be comfortable shimming it any further.

visually inspected the fork, seems fine, never seen a bent one...not quite sure what to look for.

blead the system quite a bit, pretty sure this is not the problem

Clutch release point is 1" off the carpet.

I replaced the master cylinder with a new DSM master cylinder.

the only other question in the system is the slave cylinder, so I am just going to replace it, see what happens.

Slave cylinder sizes:
Stock GVR4 - 7/8"s (Big)
AWD DSM - 13/16"s (medium)
FWD DSM - 3/4"s (small)

I am leaning toward getting the FWD slave cylinder.
Reasoning - Smaller space to fill, more travel, better release point!

Why are the extended clutch rods so popular if they are not needed?
Right on TRE's website, he says "DO NOT USE THE EXTENDED ROD"

When I installed the master cylinder, I was very critical of the clutch pedal assy. I made absolutely sure that there was absolutely no play compared to the pedal and the master cylinder.

Help? please?
