Yep - that's really my final question. The clutch slave piston, aside from being forced forward by hydraulics, also appears to be spring loaded - so to get the answer as to the length I need for the new (or modified) pushrod, I need to know if I should be forcing the piston backward completely (bottom it out in the bore, against spring pressure) and measure what I need from there, or if I should have it resting on the piston in its native (unsprung) state.
Any thoughts on this last part? If the piston needs to be fully compressed to bottoming out, then my stock rod really isn't THAT far off. If the piston ISN'T supposed to be compressed at all, then the final rod needs to be significantly shorter than stock (probably 2 inches).
