My clutch pedal is too high/too low/wants to adjust itself...what can I do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get a flashlight and move back your seat. Get a 12 mm open ended wrench. Look above the clutch pedal and there is a threaded rod that also has ridges that run up and down the rod that goes into the fire wall and moves with the pedal. Find the 12 mm lock nut and loosen it. Adjust the clutch pedal release point and height by turning this rod. Do it slowly as it doesnt take much movement to change the positioning at all. DO NOT PRELOAD the slave operating cylinder, otherwise (if your clutch pedal wants to adjust itself, this is why it does it) the automatic clutch adjustment will be constantly adjusting the clutch pedal on you and it is VERY annoying and almost impossible to consistently race like that.
After you find a sweet spot, tighten down the lock nut.
Great, I did that, now my cruise control doesnt work... why?
While you're down there, you have to make sure you adjust the switch that senses the clutch is all the way "out" or engaged. Look infront of the clutch pedal and you'll see a switch with an electrical connector on it. Unplug the electrical connector, and simply screw the switch to adjust its height. The correct adjustment is that the switch will be engaged when the clutch pedal is all the way out.

Not really. If people just read the faqs (like I did when I first got here) then they would know what's there and would be able to find the info they need faster than they can make the thread. I Don't remember most of the actual information in the faqs off the top of my head, but I know what's there and can easily find it when I need it.

i also read the faqs, and don't get me wrong, i reccomend reading them. but between all the DIYs and the FAQs, it can be a pain in the *** to find exactly what your looking for, so since i had take the time to hunt it down, all it's going to do is waste other ppls time to find it as well, so i did my good deed for the day and went ahead and copied and pasted, took 5 seconds and this guy has his answer... now if you ask me, THATS HOW WE SHOULD DO THINGS ON THE ORG. alot of ppl here in the short time i've been here have come off as real @ssholes
