Word of advice... Never Adjust Pedal height and Freeplay at the same time... lol

apparently the clutch has an auto adjuster and it does not take full effect until u have driven for at least a few miles... Weird huh?

Well anyway, I just to adjust my pedal height to the FSM spec of 6-5/8"s and it does not even go past 6"? Well NEway besides tht I decided to adjust the freeplay to be a little better. I did that and I thought everything was great until the next day... lol

massive slippage!... Cause the clutch would not engage at 100%... It was like engaged like 75% hahhaa... I could like rev in gear. I was like scared and thought my clutch was blown but it was just these adjustments. I had a hard time up hills and going 80mph...

It just kept slipping... So I readjusted it... (heard some weird sssssh air sound out of the clutch MS) and everything seems fine... couple of miles later pedal is massively spongy... So I put the pedal height back to wear it was which was lined up to the brake pedal(which in my opinion where is should be)... Still spongy but the free play is much better and the engagement seems around half like normal... Were before it engaged at like 80%!!!...

Its a little rod behind the clutch pedal. It sucks to get at... buts its in teh FSM... Look for "adjusted freeplay" or pedal height.

No, there is... The clutch when wears automaticly adjusts the freeplay for the clutch to engage more as it wears.
