What is the difference in length?
As the rod is on a spring return from the clutch operating lever, I would have thought that the only difference in its performance would be that the rod goes deeper into the slave cylinder, which should be OK.
Anyone else have an opinion?

If it was only a small difference could be the old one was worn.
