[QUOTE="DrTriton, post: 14329246, member: 2408"] You should talk to whoever you bought your trans kit from, but it's always good to verify where the slave is in relation to the fingers on the pressure plate once the clutch is installed. If you don't get the slave installed in the right place you could end up having problems. Ideally you want 0.100 to 0.200 inch gap between the fingers on the pressure plate and the front face of a FULLY COMPRESSED slave. Take a few minutes and verify it before you install the trans. I'm in the middle of swapping all my hydraulic parts over to the '13 GT500 stuff (plus an aftermarket SS braided line); I've been pulling my hair out with shift issues using the factory GT stuff. If you upgrade to the GT500 slave note that a spacer and custom bolts need to be fabricated since the Magnum XL bellhousing is longer than the OEM one. The factory '13 GT500 master cylinder is also a worthwhile upgrade (larger, aluminum bore instead of plastic), if you can find one (they are on back-order). My trans swap has been a royal pain in the neck to get working properly - between speedo issues, shift issues and aftermarket clutches, but I think I finally have everything sorted out after many hours on the phone with McLeod, Tremec, SVT, Abbott, and Dakota.
