Default Clutch adjustment questions..

alright guys... my problem is that i just installed a new clutch and got the fly wheel resurficed yet my clutch grabs when the pedal is very high.. it still grabs strong and tight but its a pain int he *** that its so close to the top. isnt the clutch pedal self adjusting since its hydro.

is there any way to adjust when the clutch grabs without like shimming the slave housing or something of that nature..

Yes, you can adjust the linkage by adjusting 2 bolts from under the dash that attach to the clutch master. HAve fun, it'san awkward angle to work on.

Its easy as hell in a 90-93

It even says how to do it in the manual

On the right side of the air filter the clutch goes down to the tranny
there should be a little kind of twisty thing on the cable
lift up the cable and turn that to adjust the engagement point
it was designed to keep up with clutch wear
itll help a lot to hold off getting a new clutch
a mechanic should do it for free too

He has a hydraulic clutch, no cables involved.

go find yourself a Helms maual. It is very easy to adjust the clutch pedal from under the dash. Just 2 bolts.

Basically I mean this to apply to hydraulic clutches as Red GSRsaid. Go under the dash and find the linkage to the clutch master and adjust 2 bolts and you should be able to get the precise pedal height engagement desired. Keep in mind that you should have some play on the pedal. I did this on my Chevy Nova and it is extremely precise and fast. The after market clutch grabs hard too and it is easier to spin the wheels with this clutch then on my Integra. The OEM Integra clutch is OK though.
