I went to look at a 98 Prelude Today with 63800K miles on the clock. The clutch seems a bit deep or long. I had to let it out like half way for it to catch. Is this normal for 5th gen preludes? I used to own an RSX-S so i'm used a short distance clutch, but on this car I had to stretch my leg to push it all the way in and have to let it out about half or a little more for it to catch.


*EDIT*
I also forgot to add, when I start to take off or come to a stop the car makes some kind of knocking sound. Any clue?

yeah its normal.
well at least to me it is.......

 

close to the ground is good .........any kind of knocking BAAAADDDDD

 

If you don't like the height that your clutch is catching at you can adjust that you know.

 

My 4th gen is vvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrrrryyyyyyy short.. At least to me.. I barely have to push it... :D
I like it, it's nice.

But it's also the first manual I've driven, so I don't know what others feel like...

 

How do you go by adjusting it? Do you have a link?

 

if you look at the bottom behind the pedal it will make sense, or it should. and as far as the knocking at starts and stops, sounds sort of like wheel bearings or ball joints to me, but it drove fine?
