Bat mobile black- 2000 Trans am WS6 M6
I did the mityvac a little bit today and it helped a little, i think from pulling air out. I will fully bleed it this weekend. I think an adjustable master would be a good investment since my clutch engages right when you get off the floor.. Cutlass its a Monster level 4 clutch.

2001 3.8 Black - sold- 2000 SS Black M6
yeah, engagement that low isn't good...but itll also move up a little once the clutch gets some miles on it...you said its new right?

1999 Formula WS6 M6-sold- 2001 Silverado Z71
I think you nailed the answer right there. It seems like the clutch engagement is a little low. Also seems to be a good idea to get an adjustable Master anytime an aftermarket clutch is used. And like FBJ and Tick have found out, its all about fluid flow and adjustability. If you get the Ram Master, look at it and see if you can find a flow restriction and open it up like FBJ's pal did.

Great sticky! I've just run into this problem and needless to say between this thread and the LS7 clutch thread I got pretty much all my answers!
