I have this really annoying problem i can't seem to fix. About a month ago i had my SBR 3500 and fidanza flywheel installed into my DSM. The kid i bought the car from had messed with the clutch pedal adjustment from the inside of the car. I had brought the car back to get it adjusted 5 times since it was installed but it still seems to be messed up.
Everytime i press the clutch dowm and go to 1st, the pedal pressure is firm and it goes right in, but as soon as i got to down shift or even upshift sometimes, the clutch seems to loose 50% of its pressure going down to the floor easily. When the pedal looses it pressure, it makes shifting very hard. I have a feeling that the adjustment that has been adjusted many time now from the inside underneath the dash is still not adjusted correctly. I can also smell the clutch way to much and it chatters like a mofo, especially in reverse. Please if someone could help me figure out the right adjustment or any other suggestions would be great. the last thing i did was bleed the clutch to see if that was the problem. I have read the SBR 3500 review page and people said that the pedal pressure is easy especially when shifting which leads me to still beleive it is an adjustment.
