I think I need to adjust my pedal. There's too much travel in the top before it actually pushes the hydraulic rod. The clutch doesn't slip but I'm finding I grind too often.

I have a feeling it's not opening up the plate all the way even when fully depressed. Same idea when you're lazy and dont push the clutch in all the way. Everyone has done the lazy grind before

When i just come to a stop 2nd, push the clutch to the floor, it doesn't want to come out of 2nd right away. Feels like i don't have the clutch all the way down.

Spoon clutches are pretty garbage, not worth the money. Tried them, hated them, sold them.

Uh oh, don't tell me they're garbage. I listened to Albert's advise and went with the Spoon over the ACT because he said it was better for the type of driving i am doing. I didn't want an on/off clutch like the Exedy either, sorry MB06.

BTW, Xplosiv what didn't you like about the Spoon clutch?

Of course he says Spoon is better.

I'd rather discuss it via PM.

Darren, once you have had three bars after starting the car, your good to VETC, if you run the Spoon cooling mods, sometimes the engine temp will drop down to two bars on highway while you are still be able to VETC.

You just have to make sure it reaches three bars once after warming up.

Oscar, my buddy can do it for you, he adjusted mine for me.

Let me know if you wanna hook up this weekend, so we can get it adjusted for you. Thats the least thing I can offer.
