Man, what a revelation. That little bit of play before the clutch truly engages actually engages!
this is why I always adjust my clutch to the ground. People always tell me it is hard to drive my car cause it is like a switch. I just flick the ankle to shift

Drove a buddies stang and felt like the clutch travel took minutes.

UPDATE

I've noticed the slipping of the clutch has gotten progressively worse over the last few weeks. Well, when I rolled into the garage last night, I noticed some oil on the ground. My 1JZ has been dry as a bone for the last two years so I was very surprised.

When I got under there this morning, I found out why my clutch is slipping.......rear main seal leaking oil into the bellhousing. So it was the clutch all along.

Well, looks like I'll be doing the R154 swap sooner than later along with a rear main seal. Time to order that RPS Max and 1JZ bellhousing. WOOT!!!!!

I'm moving in two weeks. This couldn't have happend at a more inopportune time. I'm gonna have to put it off for a good 3-4 weeks now. DUNKAY!!!

get a PCV valve as well, as crank case pressure is usually the main cause of blown seals. a $3 investment to make sure your other seals wont leak as well.
