Travel required at the slave is 1-1/8" minimum.
Does your clutch pedal hit the floor?
There are literally hundreds of threads here re-hashing hydraulic clutch issues. Look into bleeding procedures, bent pedals, etc.

If the 4spd slave rod is shorter (and I don't know that it is), it's possible your slave is reaching the end of its outward travel before the clutch is being disengaged.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-18-2020).]

I will check al that out. Also I am using the shifter arm. (With the knob on it) that was from the 4spd shifter. Is this a problem?

I wouldn't think that the shifter arm would make any difference... as long as it has free range of motion.

M.aaron80...
Did you get this clutch thing sorted out?
What was the final solution?

I banged my head trying to bleed my clutch over and over again to hit this commonly cited number.
I ended up with something like 3/4" of travel on my Muncie's slave. The clutch works great on my car (for now).[This message has been edited by pmbrunelle (edited 05-22-2020).]

"something like"? I know you've got enough skillz to get a more exact measurement than that. 
My experience is that an Isuzu absolutely requires over an inch of slave travel, whereas a 5-spd Getrag requires less. I have no direct experience with a Muncie 4-spd, but I'd wager a lot of money that a half inch of slave travel would not be enough to properly disengage the clutch.

My previous Fiero had the Isuzu, and I think your 1" figure makes sense for that.
On my Muncie, I was measuring the slave travel during the bleeding process, and the clutch didn't work right when there was only 1/2" of travel. I'm sure I had a more exact figure when I was doing the bleeding job, but that was a few months ago, so I forgot the details! I figured I'd post my approximate travel (for the Archives, and future responses to people seeking help) here before completely forgetting everything.
