Clutch Pedal Adjustment

Hey guys I just installed my VLSD trans in my 2000 5speed maxima with the JWT flywheel and the JWT clutch and when I barely let off the clutch it quickly engages which is a little uncomfortable for me. Is there any way to adjust the engagement point in the pedal? I cannot seem to find a link to help me. It's still the.clutch break in period so I'm hoping it may get better not worse ..

Thanks

Thats perfectly normal, Usually the further up the pedal comes before taking off the more wore out the clutch disk. being new it will engage immediately which is what i like. My ACT engages second u slightly lift pedal up and i love that feeling of a strong clutch.



Their are no adjustments from what i know, only bleeding it properly.

Definitely normal for an upgraded clutch like that Jim Wolf unit you say you've got too. Factory clutch will have some play or forgiveness if you will, but it's very typical for a upgraded clutch to be very stiff and short. I think you'll probably just have to get used to it. Lol
