Clutch Pedal Adjustment Problem
Alright guys, I have done a clutch pedal adjustment on my car before. I have about 5 threads left on the rod and was starting to get a 3rd gear grind under high revving fast shifts. I knew it was time to change the transmission fluid and adjust the pedal.
Here is the problem......I went under the car with the 12mm wrench and could not get the locknut to move AT ALL. I am not an idiot and I was definitely turning the nut the right way. I even tried turning it the other way after about 10 minutes out of frustration. If anyone has had this problem before please chime in. I hit the rod up with some WD-40 and will go at it again tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.

Well I tried again the next day when I was fresh. We installed a short shifter and all the related bushings on my buddies STI before I tried to adjust the clutch and my hands were about done. I still didnt have any luck. I sprayed some more WD-40 on it and will try again after work today.

BTW PB Blaster is better than WD40. Give it a try.
Also try a LITTLE heat with a propane torch. Do not make it glow red just get it fairly warm.
