Default Help - Clutch Adjustment

I need a little bit of help if possible.

Recently my clutch has started to grab farther and farther out over the past 15k miles. Someone said you can adjust it, and someone you cant because it hydrolic not cable. Is there anyway i can adjust where it grabs at?

BTW - 95 lx with 112k

Thanks.

It's self-adjusting, but it sounds like your clutch disk has gotten too thin for the range of self-adjustment. You better start shopping for a new clutch.

you can adjust the clutch pedal and the clutch master cylinder. i read about it in the Honda Accord Clinton Book. scoop one up at O'reillys for 10 bucks

feel around behind your clutch pedal. there's a little nut on the master cylinder that lets you adjust the clutch pedal postion. REALLY REALLY simple!!! 5 minute operation, tops. all you'll need is a couple of (i think) 12mm crescent wrenches

by adjusting the clutchpedal height at master cylinder you are putting a band-aid on a 5 inch scar it will just buy you a little extra time , and afterward if you pot a new clutch you have to readjust it again
