This engine has not been run yet and was just testing out the gearchange and clutch, and the clutch pedal was indcredibly hard to push. Its running a grey diaphragm and a road/rally plate, but i kept the shorter clutch arm from the verto setup.....would this be causing the problem?

Probably, id change to the pre verto arm and relocate the slave back to the top of the transfer case.

The single grey is gonna make it alot stiffer anyway.

Hi,
Absolutely, use the long arm on pre verto clutches.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Yes, I've done it for a while - the hose run is a bit odd as it connects to the verto cylinder in a different position, but do-able.

You will also have to improvise something to hook the return spring to as the verto cylinder doesn't have the tag like a pre-verto.
