Any way to make clutch pedal higher off the floor?
Any way to make clutch pedal higher off the floor?
Is there any way to make a clutch pedal higher off the floor (except ditching a floormat 
)? I'm not talking about clutch engagement point wihch I know could be adjusted...
Being spoiled by S2000 where clutch pedal sits high and is exactly under the ball of a left heel I found this perfect to my taste. In the Evo I kinda step on a clutch pedal while in S2000 I more like push it forward. Probably lowering the driver seat in the Evo can help so my legs would be more stretched out? dunno...
I'm 6" 200lbs have relatively small 8.5-9 shoe size but still find a clutch pedal sitting kinda low.

sure.
1) move your seat all the way back.
2) get up under the dash with a flashlight and a 12mm wrench.
3) follow the clutch up to where it connects to the linkage stuff. you'll see a "pin" or "rod" that has threads on the end closest to the clutch arm and goes through the firewall at the other end. this rod, at the threaded end, runs through a little bracket and outside that bracket it has a nut.
4) loosen that nut with the wrench and run it on the threads towards the firewall end. when it runs out of threads, just keep turning. watch the clutch move out!
i did this, only once i got the nut to the end of the threads, i used a pair of pliers to turn the whole rod in the other direction from the way the nut turned. this moved the clutch closer to the floor, which is where i like it.
good luck!
p.s. once you loosen the nut with the wrench, using your fingers to turn the nut (and then rod) is easiest.

i am of the impression (from the post i originaly found that on) that it adjusts the freeplay in the clutch, not the engagement point. anyway, he can try it and if he doesn't like it, he can put it right back - no harm done.
