How-To: MS6 Clutch adjustment

[chuyler1]

Good news...

Mazdaspeed6 Clutch Fix TSB -- about time

This of course means that some people have the annoying clutch while others may not (or at least may not have all of the parts that make up the really annoying clutch). So depending on your VIN, you may be able to get the whole clutch replaced.

Dude.. its so easy! U can look at it and feel what needs to be done! The directions almost make it seem harder then it is. But thats just because he was being VERY in depth so EVERYONE could do it. Just climb under there and look. Or get someone who knows a LITTLE!

So has anyone figured out exactly how many turns on each bolt needs to be done?

 

[chuyler1]

2.5 on the big one, and then just turn the other one back and forth until it just pushes the piston in without any play on the pedal.

Does anyone know what the two sensors on the clutch pedal are (one is engaged when the pedal is up, the other when it is down)? Are they just on/off or do they actually measure how much the pedal is pushed in? How does lowering the clutch pedal affect these electircal sensors?

does anybody know how to do this for the speed3???

 

[chuyler1]

Instructions should be the same.

Hey guys didn't read the whole how to, but is this basically a fix, to reduce the distance to the friction point of the clutch?


thanks
