    Your pedals

    Is your clutch pedal on the same level as brake pedal?

    Does it have about 1/2" of play?

    Both the clutch and brake pedal have adjusters for setting pedal height. A bit of free play in the clutch pedal (about a half inch) is normal.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Thanks Jim, I would like to adjust the clutch pedal to be further down on the same level as the brake pedal if possible. How would I go about doing that?

        There's an eccentric bolt at the clutch pedal pivot that allows for a limintied amount of adjustment. But it could be that the brake pedal is what is improperly adjusted.

          My clutch pedal has about 1/2" of free play as well (i.e. I can push it down that distance with my little finger with no resistance whatsoever) and at rest, it also sits a little bit higher than my brake.

          I guess it's normal. :P I asked about this last time and jlevie as ever helped out with the above suggestion. I found that the eccentric only helps so much tho, and at best, my clutch is still above the brake pedal. :P
