clutch to high up

Recommended Posts

hi guys

i have a e30 manual just got the clutch fixed they looked at the linkages and fixed the gear box all new parts but the sensitivity of the clucth is very weird i cant feel it catching buy up to 85%-90% up and thats nearly up to its remote state when pedal is not pushed down. hard to describe but its a bitch when ur up hill!! is there a way i can get the clutch catching half way up ? a friend of mine said there should be a way to tighten it so you can feel it catching earlier. people say its just an old car but when u have got new parts it shouldnt be like it. any one know a place where i can get a professional opinion?

You mean it disengauges very early?

I got a new clutch and I only have to press it in approx 2" (maybe less) for it to be fully disengauged. Thought it was a bit weird, but it dosent slip and makes for fast gear changes :) Would be even better with a clutch stop aswell.

It is even better with a clutch stop! Same situation, only have to depress it proabably 1/4 of the complete travel. Felt a bit weird at the beginning but is a huge improvement in the long run. Now it feels really weird when I remove it.

I use a big fat bolt as a clutch stop, makes for audible disengagement of clutch, good for spirited driving.
