Default Throw out clutch arm movement?

I'm converting to a hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinder on my T-5 and was wondering/hoping that someone might know how much movement is in the arm (at the cable) when the clutch is depressed. I want to be sure to set the positioning of the slave cylinder so as to try to keep that same amount of movement.

Want to be sure that the clutch release is like it would be with the stock cable.

Any help at all would be really appreciated !

With the clutch depressed there shouldn't be any movement at all, the force of depressing it should override any play you have.

Maybe I'm not being clear. I need the measurement of the throw itself. How far does the throw out arm move when the clutch pedal's depressed.

Play isn't an issue it's the throw that I need a figure for so that I can adjust the throw on the hydraulic slave to match that of the cable.

When you depress the clutch pedal, how far does the throw out arm (at the cable end) move? Or how many inches does the cable retract into the sleeve?
