adjusting your clutch

adjusting your clutch
my clutch seems to be getting progressively worse every time I drive the car. Seems like I have to keep letting it out farther and farther for it to engage. The clutch is only like a year old and Im fairly gentle on it. And I was just wondering if there was a way you could adjust it.
I used to have a 96 gt and my brother used to adjust by taking the actual pedal and it made like a ratchiting sound and he claimed thats how you adjusted it. and i was just wondering if that really does do anything.

RE: adjusting your clutch
I think you have limited adjustablity on the stock clutch with its plastic quadrent. I have the fully adjustable kit from Steeda and I like it, but I think it could be better. Maybe I'm not using it to its full potential lol.

The owners manual will have you lift up on the clutch pedal until you here a "click" then press it down to the floor. I did this and didn't notice any difference.

Is there anyway to put the clutch farther down towards the floor?

RE: adjusting your clutch
Ideally, you want the clutch to engage w/ the pedal up near the height of it's travel.. If you put the pedal more towards the floor, as things wear, it usually will not disengage all the way, or re-engage fully..
