Kevin:

If the transmission, clutch and engine are in the vehicle, i.e., you're
ready to drive away, then 1 inch of pedal travel isn't enough.  Something's
wrong and, offhand, I can't think what it is.

However, if only the transmission's in the vehicle and you're trying this,
then I'd say that's about normal since after you push the pedal down the
first time you're now standing on a column of hydraulic fluid with no clutch
fingers to push the fluid back into the  reservoir.  In fact, maybe an inch
of travel is *too* much and you might want to bleed again.

Subject: Oh no more clutch slave and master questions,

Hi Everyone,
Well bleed my clutch again this is the 2nd time after the tranny swap and
now the pedal feels firm like it should but theres only about an inch of
action on the pedal and it just does not seem right. Is this an indication
of the clutch master and or slave going?
Thanks
