Adjusting clutch engagement

I read that there's an adjustment screw on the clutch fork, is it okay to adjust the clutch engagement point using this? My clutch engages about 2" from the floor, I'd like to move it up 1" or so, if possible.

Re: Adjusting clutch engagement

Pretty sure there is no adjustment screw but you could make your master adjustable and move the peddle how far you want.

BTW your bird is missing its wing

Re: Adjusting clutch engagement

How would I make the master adjustable? And my car still has the wing for now, but it's not in great shape. My sig is how I plan for it to look :P

Re: Adjusting clutch engagement

check that the clutch pivot ball/stud has not backed out . it's the pivot point for the throw out bearing arm . mine backed out , was doing the same thing . it's on drivers side of bell housing , takes a 3/8's allen wrench . clearence is tight but can be done . clean with brake cleaner and use lock-tite before seating/tightening pivot ball/stud . good luck .
