Clutch pedal position has me scratching my head

[Cole94]

so I did a M5OD swap on my 94
Swap came from a 91, which coincidentally was a swap as well.
I didnt swap any hydraulics out because they were new.
I found out afterwards a 91 master does not work with a 94, but i made it work by bending the shaft that goes from the pedal to the master
But its still not great
Pedal sticks out a solid 2 inches further than i feel it should
Is this how its supposed to be? If not, can I get a 94 master and fit it to the 91 line? I believe its the roll-pin type retainer between the master and line.
Or do I need to pull all of the clutch hydraulics and swap them all to 94?
Pictures attached (ignore the nightmare of stereo wires, thats another project for another day)

I have a 5 speed in mine. The clutch pedal should be even with the brake pedal. Sorry I can't help with the mix and match situation. I've only replaced my components with exact matches.

you should use a 94 master cylinder

The 91 style hydraulic line should fit the 94 master cylinder you will have to press out the pin (very simple)

Thank you guys, thats what I needed to hear.
Now I hope I can bench bleed one properly the first try, but we will see. Thisll be my first experience with clutch hydraulics.

I wonder what the difference is between a 91 master cyl and a 94?
Have to look it up

Your 91 master cylinder is same as the earlier models and will only fit a 91 truck

If I was to install this 5 speed for you I would have used 1994 master cylinder, hydraulic line and slave cylinder all from LUK only
You are mix matching hydraulic parts
IT may or may not work
If you have trouble with the pedal travel and clutch opening and closing fully you might have to start fresh and install all 94 hydraulics

Im just not sure what changed from 91-92 explorer as far as the firewall (where the clutch MC mounts) It has been too long since I worked with those trucks
perhaps somebody here will chime in
