Hydrauloc clutch

Hey guys, I have got the the point in my marlin build that I am setting up the clutch system, I have installed the 0.625 clutch master cylinder and bled the system through, however the clutch bite point is really close to the floor, what would cause this? The engine is from an m3 which uses a 3/4 master cylinder, could this be causing the problem? The system is well bled so I'm pretty sure that is not the problem

Can depend on the clutch pedal box etc.

The pivot point is massively important just adding 5mm or 10mm to the angle makes ALL the difference.

I have been there!

sounds like you may need a larger master in this case as the simple solution.
But worth checking that the master piston is getting full travel, if not adjusting the pivot length will be a viable alternative.

It feels like the clutch is just releasing just as the stroke on the mc bottoms out, like I need more stroke on the mc, which I guess would be achieved by going up to a 3/4 mc
