Converting from E4OD to ZF5.
Have everything mounted including the new pedal.
Just used a vacuum bleeder until nothing but fluid came out.
The slave only moved the clutch fork about 1" travel.
Since the entire manual shift on this type of vehicle is new to me as well, I'm not sure if that's enough throw.
Have a South Bay Stage 3 clutch, master, slave, and line are all new.
I fully rebuilt the pedal assembly before installing with new bushings, springs, etc., and lightly greased the shaft's.
I'm amazed at how easy it is to disengage the clutch compared to how insanely difficult it was in the donor before removal.
That said, it had been rusting away in a field for 15 years before I got it.
Before it took extreme leg push to disengage, now I can easily push the pedal to the floor with my hand.
I just want to be sure I'm actually getting enough hydraulic action.
The truck is still a couple weeks from ready for first start.
Thanks
