Default Where does your Clutch

grab? Mine grabs at the top almost out. Is that normal? Sometimes I start thinking about things and I convince myself there is something wrong.

Where does yours let out? Plus mine is super easy not hard to push in.

OK here is the crazy part. I went to the track and adjusted my seat. I was unable to find my normal seat location setting after I left the track so then the clutch felt funny. I kept looking for the right seat location and now my frikin seat no longer works. It is stuck all the way back to boot.

So now I can't tell if the clutch is the same as always or messed up because I'm sitting back further. I just don't remember it letting out that far up.

I should be in bed but this stuff messes with my mind.

I never had a stock clutch but I'm surprised it grabs that high, it's a GT car and supposed to be comfortable to drive.

My stock clutch grabs really high too. I don't have anything to compare it to since my Stang is my first manual car.

i barely have to push my pedal down to engage/disengage the clutch, but holding the pedal to the floor is a bit tiring. Its still, but only needs a few inches to actually use

Mine is closer to the top than the middle and I have a spec stage 2. My stock clutch grabbed pretty high.
