The auto-adjust feature on my clutch pedal didn't work, so I did the following: Get up under the dash, and put your finger on the hooked part of your quadrant. Then push the clutch pedal down with your other hand. As you let the pedal back up, push the bottom of the quadrant upward, against the force of the pedal returning. If you push it the quadrant hard enough as the pedal returns upward, you'll hear a click. Try to only get one click, as two will probably be too much. You may have to physically pull the clutch pedal back up, if your holding the quadrant hard enough. After it clicks, your pedal action should be a little higher, allowing the clutch to fully disengage.

Hey Dimebag. This is where I learned how to adjust my clutch pedal.

I may. If anything, I'd just like to have the rear bumper re-painted. Then it would look a little cleaner. I do catch a lot of cats checking it out though. I watch them in the rear view mirror.
