I have a 67 mustang with a 351w and a g-force t-5. I just got done installing the wilwood master cylinder and bleeding the system. During bleeding, the clutch pedal moved freely and easily. Now once I closed the bleeder screw I cannot depress the pedal. It is too stiff to. I dont know what the problem could be. I have the rod for the master cylinder 1" lower than the stock mount for the clutch pedal. Any ideas?
I followed Mcleod's instructions on setting the bearing to the right distance so I'm pretty sure I did that right. I cannot get the clutch to release. When I pressed the pedal when the tranny was in 1st gear it was really stiff and I was on a slight decline and it wouldn't roll so it isn't disengaging the clutch. I ended up bending the pushrod to the master cylinder it was so stiff.

Sounds to me also that you've overextended the T/O bearing. Been there-done that. There's only about 1/4" to 3/8" travel in the McCleod T/O bearing. Usually this results in blowing the T/O bearing O rings as well.
When i blew out the o-rings on my ram, it also blew out the metal capture rink in the end. This metal ring then lodged between the two moving parts of the ram....then nothing would move. I ber you blew out the throwout bearing.
Well after taking off the cover I put on where the original fork went, I found that the bearing was extended all the way. I took everything apart and remeasured it to find the right distance. The bearing I am assuming is ok because there were no fluid leaks and after putting everything back together the bearing does release the clutch. It is pretty stiff compared to other hydraulic clutches I have used but I think that is due to the pedal ratio.
