i was wondering where the clutch grabs when u release the pedal. i have a brand new gt and it catches at the top 3/4 rigth before i release it. i'm sure this is normal but from past experience i thought a new clutch should catch closer to the floor than almost as u release. any input would be great, thanks.

 

mine catchs almost when u release it, i think thats how its supposed to be

 

yeah just probably the type of clutch
also is it neccisary to put the clutch to the floor to shift or can u get away with pressing just pass halfway without causing damage
thanks chron

 

i dunno when i had my civic it would cath at the begining so i would just hit down the clutch as far as i needed, never all the way down. u guess u would run the risk of missing a gear or grinding a gear if u did that tho

 

i wouldn't chance it. I would totally disengage every time.

 

Mine engages pretty close to the floor too.

 

yeah i'm thinking as long as there is no gear grindage it is not neccisary to go all the way to the floor cause if u do it takes forever to shift gears -thanks again
anyone else have a differant thought?

 

so if u engage all the way to the floor, just as u release it catches? dam mine is much differant

 

yeh mines basically out when it grabs, thought this was wierd too. But i work at ford and drive the cars right off the truck, they do the same, so i feel better.

 

Mine grabs right at release aswell. I can push the clutch in about a half inch and change gears without grinding at all.
