Default Shortening clutch pedal push distance?

I searched and looked through the FAQ section, but I couldn't find anything about this. Does anybody know about a mod (preferably a cheap on, lolol) that would allow me to have a shorter push distance on my clutch, and obviously without messing up contact pressure etc.

Thanks.

either way if it's a cable or hydro, an aftermarket clutch from stage 1 up will shorten the release of the pedal

yea but hes not talking about that. hes talkin about shortening the distance from when the pedal is up to when it hits the floor, like the distance of travel before it hits the floor.


to my knowledge the only way to do this on a cable clutch is to come up with some kind of pulley system or somethin to attach to the top of the pedal itself, thus shortening the distance travled but yet making the cable pull the same length, or maybe move the pivot point of the pedal much like how a short throw shifter works

If you have a crx/EF you should have a cable clutch.



A picture I magically found after looking at this thread.

So, your solution is the have the clutch depressed a little the whole time? Having the clutch disengage at the top and at the bottom is basically the same thing... It just depends on what you prefer better.

To make it closer to the floor, you loosen the bolt a little, to make it closer to the top, you tighten the bolt

of topic a little, but what if you wanted to make your clutch pedel travel distance shorter in a 96 civic. I just put a short shifter in for the fun of it and now that i can move the shifter faster i want to be able to disengage the clutch faster. any help would be much appreciated.

time your shifts better? either way banging gears is not good for the transmission.
