Engine adjusting clutch padel

adjusting clutch padel

Hi,

I noticed that i can adjust the clutch padel higher or lower, there is this rod i can turn to adjust the height of the padel, and a nut to lock it in place, is it better to adjust it higher or lower?

Thanks

my suggestion to you is that if ain't broke - don't touch it.<br />
adjusting it higher or lower wont do much for u. <br />
when u lightly step on the clutch u will feel this slight play b4 you actually feel the pressure. i believe that bolt adjusts this play. so you can make so there is no play at all and when u step on the clutch u feel pressure right away.

the reason why i need to adjust it, is because i put some new padels in, i adjusted the padel higher so i can shift, but i think i adjusted too high, now the padel is like what you said, there is pressure when i step on it. but if i adjusted too low, the engage point seems to be too earler, just let out alittlebit, the clutch locks to gear. Does it hurt the clutch itself at where i adjust it, or do i need it professionally done?

Thanks

i dont believe it will hurt your clutch. some people actually insert a longer bolt in there and adjust so that the clutch pedal is almost halfway down. so when u step on the pedal, the clutch engages right away. no free play at all! people do it coz they claim it saves them time when shifting during a race.
