So, I got an FX350 with a single disc aluminium flywheel, I have adjusted the CMC as far back as it will go and the slave cylinder was still able to push back... however the engagement point is still less than a half inch up from release. The moment you start to remove your foot it starts to release... is that normal??

Try adjusting the pedal out farther

My fx350 had an early engagement for about 2k. It did move out after breaking. Had to adjust the pedal about 2 times

It’s very much broken in, maybe 4000 miles now, I haven’t adjusted it since install. I was told somewhere else that I would need an upgraded master cylinder to make the engagement point higher... :(

Since I’ve fully broken it in (2500 miles now) I decided to try adjusting the pedal further. I basically have the OEM CMC rod as far out as it will physically go... it’s better but not perfect. I can actually change gears better while doing hard pulls, but it still engages super low. Kind of frustrating. I like low engagement points... but there is a limit and too low does exist lol.

So mine is the exact opposite. Mine engages at the top end of the pedal release where as after install it was practically off the floor.
Did you ever fix this?
