Master cylinder rod extended fully, yes. the engagement point of my clutch is very low from the floor... maybe 2 inches? It's not very high at all.

Excuse my ignorance, however if it was the clutch fork and pivot ball wouldn't that be obvious considering both components are now completely off the car and it's on the hoist?

Again, still learning.

Also, altohugh it may very, my engagement point in my 350 is far higher and has been since I got it at 6k.. so are you certain about that fact or that pertains to DSMs in general?

I need to know how to specify with this guy, because his explainations are not detailed at all so I cannot even convey what has been done minus what I have detailed.. however I brought it to this shop because it was recommended, although by prices he's quoting me I might as well be at the dealer lol.
