Clutch engagement height.

[digitalallstar]

I have always found the engagement height on my clutch to be a little too high on my 2002 Protege5. So this weekend I decided to try to adjust the height. I loosened a retaining nut at the top of the clutch pedal and turned the piece that goes into the firewall so that it seemed to push in a little furter into the firewall when I pressed down on the clutch. This seemed to do nothing exept make th clutch feel a little harder to press down (which is good). Sooooooooo, Does anyonne know how to adjust the engagemnt height on the clutch?

EXACTLY like you just did....except I think for what you want....you screwed the rod the wrong direction..

if what you mean by the clutch engaging TOO HIGH....is that there is not enough FREE PLAY between where the clutch pedal is when you don't have your foot on it..and where it first starts to engage the clutch...then what you need to do is screw the adjustment rod IN or towards the pedal....not away from it.

if what you want is for the clutch to engage SOONER when you start to push on the clutch...then you adjusted it in the proper direction.
