My 79 fj 40 releases the clutch near the very top of the movement of the pedal arm. Where should it release? That seems wrong to me.

After replacing my slave and master I adjusted mine a couple times following the FSM and it still releases high. Based on my digging around the threads a couple years ago, that's not unusual for these trucks, but I'm curious to hear what others have to say.My 79 fj 40 releases the clutch near the very top of the movement of the pedal arm.

thanks, I have been driving an automatic fj62, so going back to a manual fj40, I have forgotten what it should feel like and what is "normal".After replacing my slave and master I adjusted mine a couple times following the FSM and it still releases high.

Mine releases high.
I’ve seen some great comparisons to a FJ40 (soup can with a tractor engine comes to mind) but “schoolbus geometry” might be the most accurate yet! Kinda rides like one too!The pedal IS set comparatively high, and complicated by the schoolbus geometry of the steering wheel and seats. But it does ensure complete disengagement of disc from pressure plate and flywheel. Setting it lower could lead to shorter clutch lifespan.
