yeah, if you take out the piston the rounded portion on the top is heald in place by a nut under it called a jam nut, driving beautifully like a new car.

I ahve the same problem with my 89. the clutch is engaging about a 1/4 inch from floor. Do you think that my issue is like yours and if so should i replace the slave cylinder?



I just got the car yesterday and don't know much about RX7's yet.
