    clutch help

    So about 500 miles ago i replaced my clutch with a clutch masters stage 2 clutch with a jb racing aluminum flywheel. I am just wondering how i can change the spot where the clutch bites at. It bites really late on the pedal and id like to get it to bit lower on the pedal. any help?

        There is a small amount of adjustment of the rest position of clutch pedal, but that is the only adjustment available . The engage/disengage point is determined by the pressure plate and clutch disk. That said, spacing the slave cylinder out a bit from the bell housing will lower the engage/disengage point.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          What should i use to space out the slave cylinder? i know before i replaced my whole clutch the grab point was in the same location.

            You'd need to make a shim to do it right. But washers should work.
