well driving home without a clutch is fun, good thing the starter motor has enough torque to star the thing in first gear. Idk whats wrong with it yet it was driving fine, I stopped to grab some paper work from work and went back out and the clutch pedal was hard, I pushed it to the floor and that was all she had. now when i push it it just goes to the floor with the last inch giving a little resistance. clutch never disengages. fluid is fine tho the fire wall is a lil wet behind the res.

Just checked the weather for saturday, and its supposed to be pretty nice up there at red rock, Im guessing upper 70s 15mph breeze.

I need some assistance adjusting my track bar. Anyone else running RC adjustable double shear? It seems like it is threaded all the way in even though some threads are exposed. I think my front axle is off center slightly as I can feel it ******* down the road. Might be the rear axle thrust angle, per my recent alignment specs causing this. It has a slight drift to the right and my steering gearbox needs some adjustment since there is slight play. Front end is completely brand new too, with ZJ tie rod and ends, new drag link and TRE also.

(4"-6")
(1.5"-4.5")The upper one has lesser adjustable length.
I'm using the lower and still have around 1.5" thread left.
As far as drifting to the right, mine does the same. Based on my understanding, it has something to do with road crown and also because the caster angle on the passenger's side is slightly lower than the driver's. I'm gonna add some shims when the weather gets better to help adj the caster angle.
