I believe the adjustment is on the brake pedal linkage; if its out then its as if your foot is on the pedal and moving the master cylinder piston covering the port.

Interesting - any standard type of adjustment down there? It will probably make sense once I crawl under the dash.

So are mine.

So what I'm looking for is the brake pedal to be putting too much pressure on the slave when the pedal is not being pressed, correct? Makes sense, hope adjusting does.
