Adjusting Clutch Pedal Height, Not Adjustment

[alice]

Got done installing my new engine/clutch combo and I took it for a spin. The clutch engages a bit too high for my liking and I am wondering how to make it engage at a lower pedal height. I have not adjusted the master cylinder per the Jacks Transmission yet also so maybe that will do the trick. As it sits, the clutch is fully engaged at roughly 1/4 down and 3/4 off the floor. Will adjusting the master cylinder raise or lower the engagement point?

Basically, I want the clutch to be fully engaged about 1/2 way from the floor and 1/2 way from fully up position.

I have only looked at the master on the 2g twice. From what I remember there is only one adjustment and it is on the master unlike the 1g.

I believe you have to learn to live with it and adjust it the way described in Jack's video.

This will do what youre asking. Loosen the locknut on the "adjustment rod" in the attached picture. Screw the rod in toward you a turn or two and tighten the locknut. This will add a bit of freeplay and also should lower the clutch engagement point to where you want it to be. Friction point changes when hot - DSM Forums

Adjust the master as per Jacks video or by this site, which gives even more details:

Adjusting the master isn't supposed to be used to change engagement point & can cause other bigger issues if you try to do this. Engagement point is based on the clutch setup itself (& believe fork/pivotball angle will have an effect). While you may not like it, the release your getting is typically considered "normal" & should help make sure your getting proper, full release of the clutch disk.
