With the bell, aluminum spacer ring, and the tranny I was able to slide it in to about 3/8 in from seating itself. I asked on LS1tech.com and was told I could use longer bolts to gently pull it the rest of the way, as others had done, since the slave pressure has to be overcome. So I used 4 bolts to pull it in a couple of turns at a time until seated, but none of the bolts ever felt tough or in a bind.
If I need to back off the bolts to verify the input is not in a bind, how much should I back the bolts off? 1/4 in, a few turns, just broke loose?
The slave is stock LS1 OEM from ATS, so I think it uses the same movement as the master in a 1:1 ratio, which is 15/16 in. The only other car with a hydraulic clutch I am able to compare to was my 540i6 and the T56 clutch feels about the same, medium but not firm, and the T56 grabs at the end of the clutch travel instead of right off the top like the BMW did.
