the centre diff locating pin is further back in the newer model rear springs.
you could use older model ifs rear springs which dont put your diff as far back or use a tailshaft spacer.

yep sounds like the seal in the master cylinbder is bypassing. would cause the pedal to go to the ground without losing fluid.it will be bypassing from the high pressure side around the seal back to the low pressure side (resevoir) therefore causing no loss in fluid.
