just learn how to drive a manual transmission. or just give me your white 6spd.

no but really, i havent done it on our car before. i believe you can only adjust the clutch cable in the case of a cable type tranny. only older cars have a cable type tranny. we have hydraulic clutch transmissions .

the only way to do what your talking about i think would be to buy a clutch stop. it keeps your clutch pedal from going all the way to the floor. from the bottom of the clutch travel, the engagment point is then closer.

i dont even think they make a clutch stop for our cars like they do with BMW. therefore i dont think you will be able to adjust your clutch.

i guess your just gonna have man up and learn the clutch

FYI....it can be done on a hydraulic tranny......and you can give me $14k for the cl...I am trying to sell it . I've been driving manual for some time it is not my first manual car. I did this on my integra. I believe it is a hydraulic clutch

There's a pedal fine tune adjustment lined out in the service manual. However, from what I've read, I think it's only to adjust the hight of the pedal. The engagement point is still the same.

By threading out or in the rod which protrudes through the firewall, you will affect the engagement point

ok yeah that's it. I would caution you in adjusting it. You may have problems with engagement & disengagement as the clutch wears down.
