Soooo, how do you adjust the clutch engagement point? When I purchased my 96 gsr, the engagement point is literally like 1 inch from the top. I just have to step on the clutch like an inch or two for it to engage. I think this is waaaaaayyyyy too high. Where is the engagement point suppose to be for an Integra, and how do I adjust it :] Thanks for the replies!

different clutches will engage differently.

also im sure you searched this topic before you posted, because i did and i didnt find anything useful, only babbling

anyway, hopefully this helps.

lets take a look at the teg bible, passage 12-4



thou shall adjust to spec

THANK YOU. This should come in handy...when I'm not too lazy to adjust it. lololololol

You have a hydraulic clutch and the engagement point self adjusts due to wear just like it said in the above post. You can't adjust it yourself. Your clutch is just worn, is it slipping or anything yet?

wrong-aroni. The hydro clutch pedal and MC is adjustable. It is to compensate for wear. According to the manual, or the instructions that come with new clutches, you should adjust the pedal every now and then.

I was talking about the engagement point(which is the whole point of this thread), NOT the actual pedal itself.

Uhm, slipping? What does it mean for your clutch to slip Sorry, I don't really know that much. But anyway, the clutch feels normal...I guess. So does that mean the engagement points gets higher as clutch wears? And since the engagement point is so high, does that mean my clutch is incredibly worn out and is due for a change?

Moving the MC rod changes the engagement point. Moving the clutch pedal set screw changes the height of the clutch pedal...this should not be adjusted, however. Just the MC rod.

So, in the picture posted above, does that mean that all I have to do is adjust locknut 3 in order to adjust the engagement point? Oh, and just wondering, how does the engagement point change like that? Does it naturally move up after aging, or does it have to be manually adjusted? Also, what's the preferred height, or uh, the usual height to engage? loloolol thanks :]

i only have to push my pedal down about half an inch for it to disengage, but then again i have a 6 puck clutch

You loosen the lock nut C. Then turn the rod that it locks. You're putting preload onto or realeasing preload from the master cylinder piston by turning that rod.

Reduce preload = more freeplay
Increase preload = less freeplay


You have to leave atleast (IIRC) 1/2'' of freeplay.

More freeplay, and the clutch will engage closer to the floor.

Less freeplay, and the clutch will engage higher up from the floor.

I prefer barely any freeplay. I like the pedal to feel solid...I dont mind the slightly higher engagement point.

No springs or what? Does your car put down a **** load of power or something? Is there freeplay at the top?...because if there isn't you're dragging on your clutch all the time you're driving. It'd be like driving with your foot on the pedal.

yeah there some play in the clutch before it disengages. its not riding the clutch at all. the reason it disengages like that is cuss theres no riding the clutch. its either off or on. grabs like a ****

mattbnt0412

good to know

TOO MUCH TORQUE

the only thing you can adjust on hydro trannys is the freeplay, i messed with all that and did nothing to engaging point. What did lower the engaging point was a flush
