Describe the fell of a good Typ85 clutch

[Louis-Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

If my memory is good, Bentley says that the clutch pedal must be 10 mm
(3/8") higher than brake pedal. Engagement should be around the center of
the stroke, that is approx. 2-3 inches from the top position. So everything
looks OK from here :-)

Patient is a 1987 CGT 2.3. I'd had a heck of a time with the clutch
hydrolics. MC rod broke (the rod that conects the pedal). MC was replaced,
and soon the slave dies (slutch fell to the floor). Shop that did the MC
couldn't get the slave free, so it got shipped to Aamco. They replaced the
slave + 1 hose. Then the clutch would not completely disengage. It would
clunk/crash into reverse and creap backward with the clutch all the way in
plus the total pedal travel was like 2-3". Aamco looked at it again today.
They said the MC was bad, I said ti was brand new. They said to take it
back to who ever did the MC and get it redone, it's bad. Then before I
could come pick it up, they called back again saying that they took a  peak
at the MC and that the "jam nut was loose and allowed the rod to walk" and
threw the pedal allignment off. No clue exactly what they meant, but the
"fixed" it at no aditional charge. Picked her up, clutch is very smooth and
fluid like, but it grabs VERY hig
 h (like the last couple inches of travel) and the clutch pedal now sits a
little higher than the brake pedal. Would you say that's normal? It's been
so long since I've had a properly working clutch that I have no clue what
it SHOULD feel/work like. Thoughts?
