R32 Clutch Adjustment?

[simmyb]

i have a r32 gtst, is it possible to adjust the clutch so that it changes the friction point (ie lower in the pedal)

[simmyb]

does anyone know?

yes it is.

Get under the drivers side dash on your back and have a feel around. You will see the pin that goes through the clutch pedal.

You need to remove this then adjust the fork accordingly.

Have a fiddle. Good learning experience to get your hands dirty.

As Cubes said it is possible and pretty easy to do so.

Shouldn't have to get on your back either (unless thats your cup of tea ) should be able to see the clip while kneeling beside the car.

I got a fair bit of adjustment out of mine after i replaced my last clutch (also have to reweld the clutch pedal ) from one too many clutch kicks

Be patient with adjusting it though to get the point that you desire, it took me about 20mins to get it right

thanks boys

you guys are the best...

it feels sweet now, a lil dead spot at the top but the bite point is reight where i want it..

i noticed that after adjusting, the clutch stopper(sensor) that connects with the clutch pedal when all the way out, was a lil bit off, thus the clutch pedal wasn't fully coming to a rest on the stopper and putting a lil stress on the master cylinder... a lil adjustment fixed this

Glad you got it sorted old kid and its to your liking again.

Sorry i didn't get your PM earlier

Be gentle with this one so it lasts

didnt know you could adjust this. Where do you guys set it at?

I was thinking about 30-35% up front the ground?

you need to take into account that as the clutch wears the take up point will move closer to the top (away from the floor) so don't adjust it right up if it has some wear already.

and I've got no idea of how to get at it without lying on your back it was a prick of a job. someone who knows the easy way is welcome to come and do it next time

[Cubes]

It is a prick of a job.

Especially when the first time I was under there fiddling I lifted the pedal from the floor slightly, it sprung up and smacked me in the face. :S

i used long bent ended plyers to turn the tread on the clutch fork as the fork itself cannot turn as it is still inline with the clutch pedal, even after taking the pin out... if this helps
