adjusting it will let you drive for awhile more so you can get ready for new clutch.

You can adjut it from inside the car on the bottom near the clutch pedal, go to www.evomoto.com for the write up on it.

Clutch is a wear and tear part and is not covered under warranty after 10k miles.

Act makes a couple of good clutches if you are on a budget(500-600$).

just went thru the same thing. I got an ACT street clutch and resurfaced the stock flywheel. I couldn.r be happier. It should be just under a grand with labor.

I'm paying 497 for ACT 6 puck sprung disc set and 530 for labor. That puts me at 1027 for everything. I've heard how much of a pain they are to replace so I just don't even want to deal with it. Everything else will be done by me. Good luck with it!

Total = $1285.....

Installed ACT HDSS clutch kit.....

Not cheap...
