Can i adjust my clutch?
1996 5spd. v6.
The clutch has almost 0 play, ie. i depress the clutch 2-3 inches and it's already almost disconnected the drivetrain.
Is there a way i can adjust it so there is more "play" in the clutch? can i get it so that the clutch starts to engage with a couple more inches of clutch pedel depression?
I'm afraid that it's going to start to engage the clutch when the pedal is out all the way, thus "slipping" the clutch and ruining it in a hurry.
Is there anyway this can be adjusted? or do i need a new clutch??
any help is appreciated, thx

An adjustable cable, multi-hook quadrant, firewall adjuster or all of the above used together can help you do just that.
I'm also very picky about my clutch engagement point-- every few months I'll adjust the pedal just slightly to keep it at the same position as the clutch wears down.

unless you have instaled an adjustable clutch quadrent than the only way you might adjust it would be to pull up on the clutch pedle then depress it if it click's then it was out of adjustment if not you will likely need a new clutch

any suggestions for a 1996 v6 standard, not planning on running any power adders, but planning on takeing it down the strip a couple days a year. And driving it "hard" when the mood catches me right
any suggested makes or models of clutches??
