My clutch does absolutly nothing until the pedal is about 3/4 of the way up then grabs completely within less than an inch more then goes the rest of the way up....

Its as if the clutch petal control has been squeezed all into an inch worth of travel????


(also not sure if it would be related, but the petal drops to the floor soooooo easily, dont get me wrong I love it, but I get the impression that it has something to do with the clutch springs being soft?)

Thanks!!

 

Pedal throw is adjustable.....

 

Oh that'd be petal throw? which one is the way to adjust that?

Are you parting out your rx8 completely? So, why bother...

 

Oh, no I already knew how to adjust that, I meant how do I span out the sensitivity more?

And no, I am parting out the yellow one, that was a donor car for parts to fix my blue one. the yellow ones basically completely gone now.

 

Not sure what your asking...

If you mean.... instead of 2inches of pedal travel "begins to grab - fully engaged" you want it to be 4 inches (I made those numbers up btw)... I don't think that is adjustable... not 100% on that... but I only know you can adjust the pedal height, and at what position it begins to grab, not how fast it grabs... I think that has to do with more of what clutch/pressure plate you have...

 

Yeah thats what I meant...

 

A quick engagement is preferred on a sports car because it allows for quicker shifting.
You can change it by changing the pivot point of the pedal or by adjusting the ratio of the hydraulic system (master to slave volume).
Both seem very difficult...

 

It's not your clutch pedal/petal bracket failing ?
