NEED HELP ASAP!! I have just converted my vl to manual and got it running no probs but i have a big problem. the clutch wont disengage until the pedal is pushed hard against the floor. when it does disengage it is only the slightest of movement and i have also checked this from the clutch fork hole while the clutch pedal is pushed. My clutch pedal is also adjusted right out and have also swapped master and slave cylinders but that doesnt appear to be the problem. there was also zero air in the system. Engine is a rb30, gearbox: rb30 na mf5, clutch: brand new rb25det (i think) exedy hd sports tuff single plate (the pink one). What i decided to do is use the throw out bearing that came with the clutch which is no doubt to suit the r33gtst box and i have used this throw out bearing on the vl carrier rather than the r33 carrier as i am using a vl gearbox with the rb25det clutch. What i did notice is that the r33 bearing had a taper which located it right centered in the hole in the pressure plate prongs which meant it sat in slightly where as the vl throw out bearing was larger in diametre and maybe slightly in height meaning it would push higher up on the pressure plate prongs and would still end up centred as the shaft would locate into the clutch hub and spigot bush. I also noticed that the r33 carrier is definately a different height to the vl although they look identical. So anyway what i'm thinking is that the rb25det throw out bearing on the vl carrier doesnt have enough throw to disengage properly. and also the r33 TO bearing sitting right in the centre of the pressure plate may mean it needs more throw to flex the pressure plate than the vl TO bearing that sits higher up. Anyway i'm taking the box out again and i'm pretty annoyed with myself so i want to get this right. I'm planning on now using the vl throw out bearing on the vl carrier in the vl gearbox and hope that will fix my problem as everything will be as per factory specs except the clutch, which looks identical to the old one that was in the rb30 box and is the exact same diametre. So what are everyones thoughts and as to what the problem could be? I would really appreciate any help i can get.

Did you bleed the system of all air? Are you using a ceramic button style clutch disk? I had nothing but trouble with excedy sports tuff clutchs. Had one do the same

yeah i did, there was no air. the clutch disc is just a normal organic looking one.

ok you can put a washer under the throw out lever ball, but I never went that fare as it started slipping under power. I pulled it out and sent it back to the supplier and he sent me back another and held 350rwhp for a few yrs of abuse. Dont try to drive it around, you will end up ruining you sycros in your box

The problem was that the throw out bearing was an r33 one. it's been replaced by an MF5 one.
