Default I heart centerforce, and its all wrapped up....

got my car back, and I love that clutch...

and my driveability problem is that my TPS is shot... makes sense since the car couldnt hold/find an idle...

now here is the question...

how do I adjust the cable/pedal again? the way they did it, the clutch doesnt engage till its pretty much on the floor... which I hate.... gonna get at it tomorrow or monday.. how do I adjust the cable? I know I have to adjust it at the fork... I just want the pedal to engage where its supposed to, which is around midway...

I dont know, it all appears to be factory, no firewall adjuster...

I pulled the pedal up, didnt hear any clicks and it didnt do anything...


I shined a light down on the clutch fork, and it looks like the cable was threaded through too far...

If you have an adjustable cable, you wanna loosen it a little to make the pedal release higher.

thats what I want to exactly, I just have to loosen the adjusting bolts on the end of the cable on the clutch fork correct? I dont like this spongy pedal feel goin on right now... and I dont want to prematurly burn out my this beautiful orange disc that Ive got lol, I love the feel and the grip its got....

I'll have to get underneath her tomorrow

Default Its all wrapped up

got underneath the car today and adjusted the clutch cable... I have the pedal engaging where I like,(the shop didnt do it the way I liked... and its gonna take me a few days to get used to the softer pedal... my spec stage II was stiffer than this, but the holding power of the centerforce is far greater, even when the spec was working right.

I'm gonna love this clutch
