SBC pedal adjustment?
I have a new SBC and now the pedal seems different. It has to be almost completely on the floor for the clutch to disengage. Is there an adjustment for the pedal on the truck?

Your Hydraulic clutch master or slave cylinders are not healthy.
Have you replaced your clutch hydraulics rescently?
There are no adjustments.
The Clutch hydraulics are a common failure item.
Peter @ SBC should have something available for cheaper than what the dealer has. It's about $300 at the dealer for the hydraulics.

what clutch do you have? I know with some of the higher plate load clutches he is changeing the pivot point on the fingers. this makes it a lot easyer to push in the clutch but it also makes the throw on the pedel longer. Also how many miles do you have on the clutch? sometimes it takes a while for the springs to settle. My first clutch took about 500 miles for the pedel to come back up.

Mine wasn't broken in until 1500 miles since the first 800 was a road trip. The second time it took about 500 to break it in, city stop and go.
