Customers love technology- until they have to pay to fix it!
The C500-355 series had internal automatic adjusters. Try hard stop in reverse. The adjusters are a preset unit from the factory. Prolly not the adjusters, but worn shoes, if its been a while.

Check master cyls. for proper action and adjustment.
