Man I'm sorry but I have no idea. The rosehill setup got my car barely working - I had/have a slightly less worse version of what you're describing. What size master cylinder did you get?

oh sorry miss read that. For the master i've just got the standard e30 manual master cylinder.
just like this:
ITEM NUMBER C292. BMW E30 316, 318, 318I, 318IS, 320I, 323I, 325I & M3. A NEW CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FOR.
crazy that it's getting the right travel on the clutch fork but still not disengaging... so confused

So after pulling out the box and putting it back in it turns out I'm not getting enough travel for the clutch to dis engage.
So being that i have a stock e30 clutch master which measured up as 3/4 and a slave thats 7/8'' I think thats what the problem is. I'm thinking I'll need a slave cylinder bore of around 1/2''.

Cheers for the advice. You have a T5 hey? I wonder how different that is to a TKO600.
I need about 60mm of travel for my clutch to work. currently I'm getting 30mm with a 7/8'' bore slave. If i did my maths right I believe a 1/2 should get me to that 60mm travel. or am I doing this all wrong? haha

i think the clutch specs (aside from the spline count) are pretty much the same between the tko and t5. the one difference that you might be having issues with is where the fork comes out of the bellhousing and how the slave will mount because of this.
on a t5, the clutch fork comes out of the bellhousing at about the "9'o'clock" position
on a tko, it's more like "7-8'o'clock", right? if the bleeder isn't pointing straight up (like it would on a t5 setup) try jacking the left (passenger?) side of your car up until it's pointing up. maybe there's some air trapped in there. worth a shot, maybe

prload? from what I know you want a 1/4'' clearance before the bearing engages, otherwise it will always be in use and you bearing will have a short life span.
As for the master cylinder, if theres not a bolt up option for a bigger master than 3/4 it's probably worth getting the slave re sleeved to 1/2. I know this will make the pedal harder but I use to be a cable clutch man =)
