Default Clutch adjustment..

I was just wondering how the engagement should feel on the pedal (high or low etc...) also where do you adjust the clutch??
Search is a piece of junk now and I have tried but got no where with it.

The engagement point can be raised or lowered in the pedal stroke by adjusting the linkage (push rod) between the pedal and master cylinder. It is simple to figure out if you look at the pedal assembly.

The engagement point should be where you feel most comfortable, as long as it still has some amount of free play at the top of the stroke to make sure the throwout bearing isn't constantly engaged.

Thanks for the reply. The car had a new clutvh put in about 1K miles ago and the pedal feels pretty high. I'll check it out and try to adjust it down a little.
Thnaks again

If the pedal actually feels high (not just engaging high) then there is a 2nd adjustment that you can do to lower it. The clutch switch also acts as a stopper, and can be screwed in or out to raise or lower the "at rest" position of the pedal. However, after adjusting the stopper, you have to readjust the pushrod to make sure the pedal still has enough free play before engaging the master cylinder.

... although the clutch will be less aggressive once it breaks in a bit.
