Anyone who has Installed South Bend's Upgraded Hydraulics

He guys just installed my new hydraulics... Not too much fun... My question is how much do I need to adjust the pedal?

No instructions included... so?? Dont want to bring it too far back and shove the plunger right threw the master cylinder, but dont want it too short that my clutch isn't completely releasing...

Thanks

I put one on the 06 with a 3850, I didnt adjust anything, just threw it in and it was good. Everything seems exact same accept pedal press is about 5x more.

Well not adjusting anything would leave the pedal about 1" to an 1 1/2" lower than normal?? The rod came all the way screwed in on mine??

Make sure that when you install it in the firewall, that it is real tight, you may have to use the rubber washer off your stock one and put it on as well. If you don't, it will break the plastic ears off your new unit.
