Thread: Where does your clutch engauge?

hmm i would say from having to adjust my clutch cable so much to get a snug tension on my cable, i woulod say my clutch cable is gone...i have to adjust it like 100% to get a tight tension, i dont think its a clutch problem as my clutch has 1700miles on it, and reason i say i dont think its a clutch problem is i can adjust the clutch through a broad spectrum and it catches lower. its just the clutch cable is loose with that lower cable adjustment

sound like a stretched cable eh?

that's a stretched cable.

My factory one snapped at 147k on the GA. Got it replaced with a crappy part, and it stretched in a week, then broke. Got it replaced with a Big custom cable from a shop, and it didn't stretch at all in 5k miles of city driving... It had a stiff ass clutch...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029WR8C i wonder if this could be made to work? i really want something hardcore style, not non oem crap and not open, but somethnig super strong

I like mine as close to the top as possible while still being able to have the clutch engaged all the way when the pedal is let all the way out. The way My car is now I can rev match stupid fast. I can also shift stupid quick as all I have to do is literaly tap the clutch pedal and shift into the next gear. Hell I dont even have to push the clutch pedal in more then 2 cm's to shift into the next gear lol. Its still super easy to push the clutch all the way in at lights though. I dont have clutch pedal adjustment issues either though...

should i try to get some spacers and put them before the wheel to take up that slack and stiffen up the cable so i can have better adjustment?

thanks. question, i saw on a thread that there's a 10mm nut that has to be loosen first? is that right, or do i just have at turning the wheel?

also i want to "raise" the pedal (so that the clutch is not engaged at the floor), which way am i turning?

yea 10mm nut loosened, then you will want to go towards the firewall that will raise the clutch so its not on the floor, make usre you dont go too tight as it will at the put of the pedal when it engauges.

you might have to take some pliers to hold the cable so it doesnt turn while your turning the wheel.

may take a could adjustments to get it just right also, to where you like it

thanks i'm gonna have at this tomorrow. so i can sit my seat back, right now my right knee touches the column under the ignition

this is where i'd like it to be at. hopefully i can get it there. and slide back

i guess im gonna get some spacers and see if putting those in and adjusting it makes a differences i tihnk it should

woot!!! adjusted up the clutch on the way to work this morning. man it feels good not ot be up on the wheel anymore. glad i saw this one. thanks guys.
