Re: any1 adjusted thier clutch height here?

I did it. One thing, I did lower it too much (6-7) turns and the engagement point was immediatly after i started lifting it which was fun, but I had a very hard time getting it in 1st gear, which led me to believe it wasn't disengaging the clutch enough to swap gears. I put it back about 3 turns and now it's perfect, even adjusted the cruise control saftey switch.

i tried it, man how the hell do you loosen that lock bolt???

there is no space to work on it there... i had a hard time turning the bolt because of the metal plate that was blocking it on the right side.

I did it, it was a pain in the *** to work in such little space. What you want to do is just grip the bolt and break it loose with a cresecent wrench. Its not on very tightly so you should not have a hardtime taking it out. I don't know how many turns I did but it did help the overall driving experience.

The cruise adjustment was easier than the clutch. I did remove the dead pedal and the fuse box cover to get some more space to turn the wrench.

It is *so* much easier to drive the car now, this is a great mod.

Now if the gearbox would just cooperate and not be so damn notchy all the time.

Re: any1 adjusted thier clutch height here?

I did it to my car and it's the feel that it should've had from the factory.

I have no problem loosening the fork, just get a set of husky wrench...you dont have to take out the pin either.
