new clutch issue on early wrx.
hi guys,
had a new excedy clutch fitted on my 94 wrx, now the bite is right at the top, if you rest your foot on top and it will slip, ive searched around the forum and found that its hydraulic and some rod i may need to adjust, any ideas please im starting to thinking it could burn it out very quick.
any info would be great please.

If hydraulic level is ok and clutch pedal feels good then wouldn't need adjusting/bleeding (dont know about any rod!?).the slave cylinder simply gets unbolted from gearbox when changing clutch,hydraulics wouldn't get affected

im pretty sure you cant fit the friction plate the wrong way round. did you fit the a complete kit? do you still have the box with the part number on it so it can be checked to make sure its the correct clutch?
could try bleeding it. the nipple is under the ic and you can get a spanner on it without removing ic.
if you fitted it, did the plate feel nicely pinched tight once it was all bolted up?
if you didnt take it back to the garage.

no offence intended: ive never quite understood the logic of tightening the box to pull the last inch. if it dont push up by hand something ain right, friends so called "mechanic" friend snapped a block doing this.

No offence taken.I done this because I thought it was the locators/dowls being a pig and not sliding together (even with grease they are tight fit) it didnt even feel hard to tighten bolts which made me think it was going together ok.

i have the same problem, fitted a new clutch and flywheel and my peddle is a lot higher than what my old set up was. surely someone must have an idea to what the problem could be!
