I just installed my new Promotion Custom clutch and a fidanza aluminum flywheel. Now my clutch engages when the pedal is really close to the floor. Is there anyway to make it engage back at the stock height? Thanks and God Bless! Andrew

If you have a firewall adjuster turn it out and take some slack out of the cable

All I have is the stock clutch cable. No firewall adjuster or any other of that stuff.

No, not really. Different clutches pickup at different heights. You'd have to go with an adjustable quadrant.

Is this one of the clutch kits where guys have to screw with the lever and pivot? There's one flavor of kit I'm thinkin of (but I can't remember which it is) where this is done. Just something for folks to say yes to or shoot down.

Good luck Andrew.

If you have the factory clutch quadrant set up then all you need to do is lift the pedal and it should re-adjust itself to take up the slack.

I tried that but nothing happened. I got under the car and the cable seems tight. Will the quadrant and firewall adjuster still help?

Check the slack at your quadrant (under the dash by the brake pedal) and inspect the teeth on it. Could be its worn in which case you should get the aftermarket quadrant and FWA.

The quadrant will physically move the catch point, get one with two or three settings. This will make the biggest difference. However, I would never put another adjustable quadrant or cable in my car, as I've had terrible experiences in the past.
