I just gave it a shot just for kicks. Most worthless "mod" ever. The travel from the engagement point to the bottom of the pedal stroke remains exactly the same. All it changes is how much travel there is from the top of the stroke to th engagement point.

^ I did mine too yesterday afternoon after reading all the hype. I tried a lot of different adjustments and came back pretty close to the original setting. I didn't like the sloppy feeling (too much freeplay) in the linkage/mechanism when it was adjusted much away from stock.

Those guys who were changing their pedal height by an inch or more are a clutch waiting to be replaced- soon.

IMHO too much adjustment would certainly do it. In that linked thread there were lots of guys making huge adjustments and some supporting comments about the clutch not disengaging / returning properly. Those big adjustments of 2-6 turns were making the clutch well outside of the Nissan specs that were also found in that thread.

If the stock clutch is killing your left leg the best answer is to start working out. It's actually a very light clutch to operate.

No kidding. Even Honda clutches are heavier.
