Default How do i adjust my clutch pedal??

I just swapped in a new y8 tranny and a clutch by exedy in my EJ8...the clutch is the exedy oe clutch kit...my question is how do i adjust the clutch pedal to have a little more pressure...i've blead the clutch line 5-6 times but its not helping at all...i've doen 10-30 pumps but it helped only a little....the clutch pedal feels way too soft and it doesn't feel safe to drive


*my old clutch was a oem clutch too and it doesn't feel the same at all...not even close...

Alright lemme see if I got this. You went from a stock clutch on a stock EX to an exedy clutch and you're saying it feels different.

Okay, that was sort of to be expected.

Now what do you mean by "it's too soft." Do you mean you don't need to push the pedal down hard to engage it (aka. it's doing it's job) or is it grabbing low, or grabbing high?

i've got an exedy stage1 clutch and flywheel on my s40(d16z6) tranny. My clutch pedal became a lot more harder to push, which i like and the pressure of clutch is very strong, BUT yeah, it grabs lower? how can i change it, adjust it?

isn't there a adjustment screw somewhere ontop/near of the pedal assembly...I remember seeing something like this in the haynes civic manual.

when i did my clutch, i got the oem exedy kit and the pedal felt softer than my old clutch too but it grabs better then my old slipping clutch As long as you feel that it grabs, im sure your ok.

Exedy clutches will feel softer than OEM. If you want harder go ACT. Exedys are good for drift cars where you don't need to feel it's grab point, it's more of a quick pop to downshift opposed to drag racing where you'd want to feel it as much as possible.
