Today i had my dealership put in my exedy stage one clutch. It was stiff like i expected it to be, but the pedal itself feels weird. It will engage when you barely pull the pedal off the floor. Also when putting the pedal to the floor to shift it feels like the pedal is "empty" until you hit the floor. Idk what the problem could be, any input would be appreciated!

Or is this the way its supposed to feel?

i think you may need that

 

Do you think the dealership can adjust it as is? I spent quite a bit of money today with a new flywheel, slave/tob and the clutch install. I really don't want to spend anymore cash.

 

the stock clutch rod, from my understanding, is not adjustable

Damn it that sucks! I was hoping there was a way to adjust it. If i get this rod, will adjusting it hinder anything else from working properly?

 

maybe your left foot? lol nah man

 

Ha ha true, this clutch is very stiff in comparison to the stocker

Anyone else had to use this adjustable rod from zzp?

get the rod. im getting an exedy stg2 for my 2.4 and im also getting the rod. heard it makes the car feel like its stock again

 

Thats what i was looking for, i really don't like the clutch engaging right off the floor

 

are u saying the clutch only engages when the clutch pedal is all the way pushed in? or will it engage with light pressure?

 

I have a exedy stage 2. Its normal till like 2in from the floor then it gets hard.

 

The pedal has to be put to the floor to get it to engage. Also the clutch starts to grab right off the floor. It's kinda a bear to drive in traffic

 

Yes its how mine works, get use to it.

 

others have suggested getting the adjustable bar from zzp. I've gotten used to how it drives now, but it would be nice for the pedal to come up a little higher.

thats how it will be, untill it breaks in, dont beat on it, get the rod i have it and its great, btw i have that same clutch, no worries

put a good 5k miles on it and it will be up more, ive got about 10,000 on mine

 

Thanks glen229, i ordered the rod today. The clutch feels better than it did the other day, or i'm getting used to it

 

it will take a while to come up, dont put that rod in right away or youll have to keep adjusting it as it rises over time, wait 1k miles or so

 

Will do, i can kinda feel it coming up a bit. I've almost got 300 miles on it so far

 

Yeah ive only got 1100 on mine, but it seemed very hard to drive at first.

 

i got the same clutch and no rod it was like that at first but after time of it breaking in it went away you didnt have to buy the rod but might as well use it now that you did
