This method is by far the easiest, most effective, most accurate and most reliable procedure to set the proper clearance in the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder and push rod system. If the slave cylinder has an internal spring on the piston then simply leave the clamp on the pushrod while performing this task. The internal spring is unnecessary and should always be removed. Many times a small button head screw tapped and threaded into the piston head to keep the piston just above the inlet hole is required in place of the spring.
