    I don't think the master is your problem. I think the adjustment is causing you to not get enough travel. When my master went bad the car still drove and shifted fine, I was just losing fluid.

    Yea that's what mine did, it leaked fluid onto my shoe lol.. still kind of drove fine, I replaced it with my new master, and it was decent, sometimes stuck to the floor.. now it just sticks to the floor. I didn't do anything to the master when I got it, I just took it out of the box and installed it lol :/

    The threaded rod that goes from your pedal into the master cyl iz what Stealthee is talking about. Loosen the lockout and turn the knurled rod away from the threads on the pedal assembly. So, thread it towards the engine bay until there are a couple threads of the rod sticking out from the female thread block.

    Installing it without making any adjustment is exactly where your problem lies.

    Ok so I tried adjusting today, but I picked the wrong day. It was raining, seat was still in, barely fit in there. I'm gonna do it another day. BUT..

    I managed to disconnect the pedal from the master as I think mine is a different setup from the instructions off here. I pulled the pin put and went to separate the two and I barely did it. It was so hard to push it in. So I guess I have good pressure. But from on my back, looking up at the assembly, do I twist it right or left?

    You don't have to separate the connector from the pedal. You should have just broke the lock nut loose, then spun the rod.

    Ah Damn lol... Well I can easily put it back. How much should I turn it? And how many threads should I leave at the end of the rod?

    Where mine was when I parked my car was showing about 4 threads past the bracket. So about 4 threads closest to the pedal.

    That doesn't mean that's where yours will end up being at, but it is a start. It looks like you have too many threads showing right now though.

    Would those many turns make a huge difference? I have a little bit of pressure near the floor. And I after bleeding yesterday, the pedal pops up the odd time too. I'm getting closer!!!

    I just wanna get this solved so I can finally start the newer jdm engine lol

    You'd be surprised what difference one turn of the rod will do. It looks like you have about 7 threads showing, so you'll end up needed 2-3 turns to get in the ballpark.
