clutch pedal engagement low
 
Hey so I'm having an issue with my clutch. Noticed the clutch is engaging pretty much right when I start to lift my foot off the pedal. Curious if anyone has experienced this. Thanks in advance.

You can adjust where the clutch engages at (give it a search), some people prefer it close to the top some don't.

I would like it at least mid way, not all the way on the floor.

There are a couple things I've found with this....

Some of the Exedy throughout bearings are shaped different, and aren't as thick as stock. The stock one has a flat face on the pressure plate contact surface, but I've seen Exedy ones with like a curved / rounded point on them instead. Also, you may consider flushing, and replacing your brake fluid and thoroughly bleeding the lines for the breaks and clutch. This also happened to me when I had air in the system. I've experienced both of these situations on my car.

Also make sure that the clutch peddle isn't failing. They're known to crack and collapse.

It should engage at the top of the peddle or something is wrong.

If the pedal is not broken/failing and you adjust it to the factory manual procedure that doesn't matter ...
