Have you adjusted the threaded shaft that goes into the master cylinder from the pedal? A few turns of that threaded shaft makes a lot of difference on pedal play, which should be between .2" - .5" if I recall correctly.

Let me know what you think of this new clutch. I am going to have to replace my SPEC Stage 1 after less than three years.
Got a problem. The clutch will not disengage the flywheel. I can see the release fork pushing almost to it's max distance (I might be able to get it further if I take off the boot or put a plate under the base of the slave) but if I try to shift into gear it just wants to move the car forward or start grinding. Is there something I'm missing short of replacing the fork and ball & shim?
Edit: The clutch adjustment is maxed out. About half way pressed in is when it has the most resistance, however, once it gets closer to the floor the resistance drops off and it feels much softer. I also bled the fluid until it was clean.

Your slave is most likely bad...
Your 1993 Dodge Stealth is one of 6351 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 5212nd out of the 6351 that were made that year.
Your car was built in the 3rd week of February 1993. Of the 47380 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 40537th vehicle to be created that year.
There are 281 other cars that were made with both the same interior and exterior color. There are 779 cars with the same exterior color and 2316 cars with the same interior color.
Note: The production order is assigned based on the order of the serial number.
Even if the pin is visually pushing the fork all the way over?Originally Posted by Boost4VR4
You should have someone push the clutch in and watch the rod to see if it tries to go back. Sounds Like it either still has a little air in there or is bad.
I'm going to take a video tomorrow and post it here. I would rather replace the slave over the shift fork as I don't even want to look at the car right now.
Shot a video of the slave pushing the fork. This is with the clutch linkage under the dash full extended. Will not disengage.

Tried to check the video out but it won't let me
It pushes it quite a ways out. It can be hard to determine if it's the slave or master. Fluid can bypass in the master or slave either one. Sometimes the master will leak on the rod side inside of the car. If you see that then there is a good chance the master is bad. You shouldn't have to have the rod adjusted all the way out like that. Did you turn the flywheel when you did the clutch job? If so do you know how much they took off to clean it up? It can be a pita to bleed these. I use a mighty vac brake bleeder. Works good.
I've been told that the shift fork or shim/bearing might be bent or worn. Since replacing the clutch, the (possibly bent) fork assembly can't compensate for the added thickness of the new clutch. Is this possible?
