02/03 6spds: Clutch Question

How many miles did you have on your car before you had to replace your cluch? I have 31K on mine and it feels like my friction point is pretty high. I've had numerous manual cars with no clutch problems, so I would like to think that it's not the driver. Is there some sort of adjustment I can have the dealer make so that my clutch engages at a lower point?

Had mine replaced at 24K miles under warranty due to the TSB for the wierd clutch sound. Now have 37K miles and no issues at all.

I doubt the dealer will adjust your clutch, but you can adjust it yourself. They tried this on the 350z and it works on the max too. I have done it on mine to where the clutch engages about an inch from the floor. Problem is that our trannys are notchy as hell, so that's something u will have to live with. you can try some redline fluid.
