Default very high clutch biting point

hi all

the clutch biting point on my sti classic is very high

at the last inch of pedal travel this is where all clutch action happens

Is there ways of adjusting this down a bit?

or is this a problem with slave or mc

Any help appreciated!!

Cheers

Get under the footwell with a 12mm spanner and a pair of pliers, undo the 12mm nut on the shaft on the pedal that goes through the bulkhead and slacken the bolt by using pliers and winding into-wards the pedal, you can notice the thread getting longer.

Adjust this until it suits your driving style.

Another way would be pull out the split pin from the clutch pedal and withdraw the pin so you can unwind the shaft by hand.

I done one at the weekend that was biting at the floor and gearchanges were difficult.

Inside the car, if your clutch is biting near the top and you have crunching then its not a clutch problem, try changing the gearbox oil to castrol syntrax, this should aid quick changes

Not sure, easiest way is to lay in the footwell with a bright torch and have a gander
