Short clutch pull

Hi all, I have a 94 2WD pickup with a stock clutch master and slave with a 5VZ under the hood and a R150 from a 2WD 3VZ.

Clutch is different than any vehicle I've driven and changed after the motor swap. 15k miles ago I put a new Toyota clutch in along with the motor swap and ever since the swap it's had an extremely short clutch. The first 20% of the peddle fully disengages the clutch. The last 80% still cycles the slave cylinder and clutch fork.

Example: In first gear with the clutch all the way in, I let the clutch out 3/4 of the way nothing happens. Let it out the last 1/4 and it does it's business.

Any reason why it might be doing this? I don't mind it at all (actually much easier to shift) but I'm wondering if this is a problem that should be fixed.

Thanks!

You must have moved the pivot on the fork inside the bell housing. The fork pivots on a bolt with a ball on the end. it can be screwed in and out thus changed the engagement point. You have to have the trans off to get at it......sucks for you.

Ah, wax on. Thank you.

Good thing I got the trans removal down to under 10 mins.
