    Anyone install the Novak hydraulic clutch on their CJ? I’m having issues with my clutch going into gear.. I have new slave/MC/fork/flywheel or pressure plate. All installed and it’s very spongy, no pressure to push pedal. I bled the lines and it seemed to have some pressure but days later I tried to run the Jeep for first time in 4 yrs since rebuilding it and upgrading. Called Novak and he said after bleeding I should push the plunger on slave all the way in to reset piston....anyone had any issues? I even put a spacer between the bellhouse and slave but now it seems the fork moved too far and fluid is coming out of rubber dust cover. Jeff said to push plunger to reset piston and it should fix issues. Any help on this would be great. Going t try jeff from Novak’s idea this Thursday.

    I've got one in my 225/SM465 setup. Never run into the issue your talking about though. I simply bled the system at install and haven't had issues since with it.
