clutch pedal - too high

[Jimbo2000]

gday lads

i recently got a new clutch installed and as the friction point on my last clutch was quite high (mid to top) i asked for the same thing to be done again

silly me

now the clutch initiates almost as soon as the pedal is depressed and then has heaps of free play all the way down to the ground, well this simply feels shithouse and its an actual hassle to drive the car. (i've stalled 3 times in a week :Oops: )

how can i reverse this to have the grab point a lot further down like at the bottom?

is there some sort of adjustment that can be made to a cable or something

its a r33 gtst

Cheers

Jim

im not sure about ur car mate but with mine there was a cable thingy underneath the clutch pedal i watched my dad do it, it should be right above the clutch pedal get a light and have a look around there should be something in the way for adjustment

[Jimbo2000]

cool

anybody else know any specifics?

Get your head under the pedals by doing a kind of limbo and you will see a threaded rod on top of the pedal going to the clutch cylinder. Adjust here to move the bite-point.

will this effect any other charachteristics of the clutch?

llongevity,clamping pressure etc

anybody?

i need to know as i'm wanting to do this today

[cokey]

As long as it fully engages/disengages its good.

Should be about 2 1/2 inches adjustment at the pedal.

Split pin out, disconnect pedal, you are left with the u bracket on the end of the rod. there is a locknut on the back you need to loosen. Then turn U bracket until you have the right length, tighten lock nut and off you go

[Jimbo2000]

while i thank you very much for the info dunc i have no idea what you just said :Oops:

is there anyway you could like circle the bit(s) you're talking about

i feel like such a noob

[Duncan]

sure hope this makes more sense

1.Split pin out, (1)

2. disconnect pedal, (the big black thingy )

3. you are left with the u bracket on the end of the rod.

4. there is a locknut on the back you need to loosen.

5. Then turn U bracket until you have the right length it moves in or out on the thread to adjust the take up point, (3 again)

6. tighten lock nut and off you go (4 again)

And I forgot.....put the pedal back on

[Jimbo2000]

i dont care what other people say about you behind your back mate

you're a champion

done

it worked a treat, couldnt figure out how to get the pedal out but just loosesing the nut and turning the rod was the way to go

feels a whole lot better
