Clutch Pedal Height


Recommended Posts

I did some more searching and note:

"Loren on Apr 22 2005, 01:00 AM

The clutches on all Boxster and Carrera's is hydraulic and therefore not adjustable. There is a small amount of adjustment used to match pedal height in the clutch master cylinder connecting rod - at most 1/4 inch at the pedal.

"

So my 04 S clutch pedal height is quite a bit higher than my 98 boxster. I see that introducing air is a hack (don't like this idea) but I really need to get the clutch lower. Does anyone know if there are mods to the actual pedal itself? (I'm thinking of bending it!)

As a tall guy I have a GT3 seat, with the special BK brackets to give me max space in the cabin. All is well apart from having to bring my knees far to far to my body for each change. This means my legs have to go outside the steering wheel again, obviously not great for quick changes. My clutch is like 2" higher than the dead pedal.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if the return height on a 986 clutch pedal is adjustable? My 98 was much lower than my 04 is and I'd like to adjust so the total travel is less if possible.

Cheers,

Introducing air in a hydraulic system is not a hack but rather a stupidity, in contrary it is a must to have all the air out of the system. The clutch is worn out if the biting point is to high, al you have to do is a clutch replacement.

Agreed on the air - It's just discussed here by others when I searched.

So the clutch definitely isn't worn out. It was like this from new and now only 17K non raced miles. However if I swapped for saw a sachs sports clutch is it likely to offer a different config re the return height?
