So is this a valid way to set the clutch stop then:
- Flat ground
- Turn car on
- Clutch out
- Gently push the shifter knob. As I push the shifter knob, slowly depress the clutch.
- Wait for the point where the shifter knob slides into gear
- Mark that point, give it an additional 1/2'', and set the stop there
- Test you can sift 1-6 and R with the car on and on flat ground and there's no grinding or fighting it into gear
Done? The above works beautifully on my 65 cobra's cable clutch.
My biggest fear, not being the least familiar with hydraulic, is that there's some hidden tricks i'm not aware of, like the above will get it into gear smoothly but it won't be fully engaged so you'll be causing 3x the wear because you need additional travel beyond what you think it is even though there are no signs (e.g., grinding, etc..).

I think your thinking to much! .
I'm paranoid about this after over-extending my cobra's clutch and almost ruining it in the first few miles :/
