I HAVE AN 83 TOY AND I WAS WONDERING IF IT IS POSIBLE TO MAKE THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYL ADJUSTABLE........

I WAS GANNA MAKE ANOTHER ROD WIH THREADS TO ADJUST IT....

WILL IT WORK OR WILL IT JUST PUSH THE EXTRA FLUID BACK INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER???

The slave cylinder itself is not adjustable but the rod going to the clutch pedal is and has the same effect in most cases. There are two jam nuts on the rod just loosen them and turn the rod until you reach your desired result. All it takes is a 12mm wrench and possibly a pair of pliers.

It'll do both, push the piston back into the slave cylinder and also give you more throw. I've added a allen headed cap screw onto the pushrod and then rounded it off where it sits into the clutch fork.

My question is Why do you need an adjustable slave cylinder. Has the flywheel been surfaced some many times that the slave is not pushing out far enought to disengage the clutch?

ITS TO ADJUST THE POINT WHERE THE CLUTCH ENGAGES WHEN THE PEDAL IS LET OUT.........RIGHT NOW MINE IS ABOUT TWO INCHES OFF THE FLOOR THEN IT GRABS...ITS SUCKS HAVING TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR EACH TIME I SHIFT......

Yes, it's possible. I installed an adjustable slave on my 82 many moons ago. What you need is a slave from an earlier model 4x4 truck. Something like off a 1980. The dealer should be able to help.
