its an sm465. but the throw at the slave is 2" or so. if yours is more than that i'd be suprised

 

[v8ranger89]

i can just get the clutch to disengage and the balance point of the pedal is almost on the floor i tried playing with pivot points and i need just a little bit more, or the pedal would have to stick up like 6" higher than the brake pedal

 

[cammeddrz]

i experienced the same phenomena. it was pivot points. but you are using a different trans so.....
