Default Anybody using hasport conversion kit with hydro tranny? Adjusting clutch pedal?

My clutch pedal lets out far too high.....

I've tightened the clutch cable at the linkage and it still lets out too high.

How are you guys adjusting your clutch to let out near the floor?

I have the conversion kit as well on my car your saying the pedal is to high? My **** is just stiff as ****. My mom tried to move my car and said she felt like she was going to break her foot pushing in clutch pedal but shie is like 57 lol. Mine doesnt look to high and i barely had to adjust it. Its almost all the way tightened in.

I used to have a 89 si cable then I switched to the 91 teg, not much difference, just that the teg on is smoother now because its newer. My cable dosent sit quite flat, so find myself adjusting the jam nut way too often!!

You want about 1/8th an inch, but its tuff to determine with the hasport hydro to cale kit.

What did they say?

I'm still having the same problem, and I think tightening the clutch cable made it even worse (still lets out high...)

I tried to get up under the dash and take a look at that clutch pedal, but I couldn't find any adjustment possible there... just for the ignition safety switch and stop for the upstroke.....

The tighter the cable, the higher the pedal will be.

bumping this q, I have the same problem- clutch pedal engages waaaaaaaaay off the floor. tightening the finger nut by the tranny doesnt help, and im tightened to what seems like the point of no return (this is only used for free play @ top anyway). how do you fix it?

.....understood. There is much deflection/ slack in the cable now and the pedal still lets out too high for my tastes..... it looks like in the service manual that there is *some* adjustment at the pedal as well, so I will look there next.
