Mine clutch disk slipped from the factory. Is still the weak spot of the whole drivetrain. A McLeod setup was the cure and an upgraded slave cylinder.

    I'm 6'3 (with my shoes on 😂) and I have no issues fitting and closing my door. It's actually more roomy than my Ram. Maybe there's less head room with the sun roof? I wear my cover (adds a couple inches above my head) and with that, very ocationally I will rub.
