Hey Nik,
I came across this problem when installing my ATS 5 puck clutch.
So the JDM 3sgte Gen 3 SW20 (1993-1995) Slave cylinder is in fact the larger bore. Although in 3SGTE Gen 3 enignes after 1994 (1995+) went back to the smaller bore slave.
When I installed my ATS 6 puck clutch I noticed that I had to adjust my all the way out as the engagement point was like through the floor. After research I found that if I was to install the gen2 smaller bore slave cylinder, I would get more throw due to the smaller bore size. Which could make sense as the ATS clutch is suited to the gen2 mr2 which is what USA got across their 90+ production years (so I believe)
So I would expect if you installed the smaller bore slave and still have a factory clutch it may feel different, and maybe if you are upgrading clutchs it may help out the the heaftier pressure plates.
Cheers
