A dribble of fluid.

The original and FTE master cylinder push rods have an overall length of ~93mm. As a test, I shortened the extra pushrod to ~90mm and installed it, and set the eccentric bolt to 'maximum clutch pedal free play'. It's improved shifting while driving, but while stopped, you still can't change gears from neutral with the clutch pedal fully pushed in. And going into reverse grinds unless you have the clutch pedal in the perfect position.

But why whittle the push rod? Maybe I am just missing something here, I am going to throw some ideas out...

*Air still in clutch lines
*Missing clutch slave shim causing pedal travel problem
*Clutch lines internally rusted from air exposure/rubber clutch hydraulic hose defective like a failed brake hose
*Clutch assembly needs replacing for some reason
*Exedy or FTE clutch master cylinders incorrect for 80 240d
