What exactly is involved in adjusting the clutch on my 2g GST. The clutch manufacturer recommends so-called 'Critical' adjustments at 500 and 1500 miles or clutch failure could result and so on.
yeah i just put on a xtr stage 3 6 puck on my car and it sais that im to do that at 750 and 1500. i have no clue though. im got to the point where i can hit on it in every gear but i have to take my time shifting. does this mean m getting close to being fully broken in. because if i shift at 7 grand and punch it again it slips?
The hydraulic clutch system on DSMs (and, virtually all hydraulic clutches) self-adjust as they wear until you're down to not having enough friction thickness for they system to accommodate.
I found this on vfaq, it talks about clutch pedal adjustment at the bottom, hope it helps!2G AWD Clutch install
That is only for clutch engagement point - how far the pedal comes up before the clutch starts to grab. As Defiant said the hydraulic system automatically adjusts as the clutch wears. There is no manual adjusting needed.
The point I was making had to do with what is explained in this vid of proper clutch adjustment Transmission VideosThis should be done whenever a new clutch/pressure plate are installed.
Whenever the clutch is replaced you need to adjust (at least check) the release point. Its the point in pedal travel where the clutch starts to grab. Other than that, the clutch is a hydraulic working system, and no other periodic "adjustments" are needed.
