Sweet, looks like my master kit is at my doorstep. Gonna tear this thing apart and start from scratch everywhere measuring specs etc. I actually want to see how much travel is possible in the slave to see where I am currently and how much it's capable of moving. I also called Southbend to see the spec of how far the pressure plate should be disengaging;I'm sure they have a spec. Should hopefully get some answers tonight. Hopefully, no more questions.

I also ordered a stainless line, might as well improve the feel while I'm at it (if it's not the original problem).
