How to Adjust the Height of a Car Clutch?

[Daryl]

The method for adjusting the height of a car clutch is as follows: 1. Turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and shift to neutral. 2. Lie down in the driver's footwell area and remove the plastic panel with lights. During removal, push firmly toward the front of the car, then pull in the opposite direction to detach it from the vehicle. Gently pull downward, being careful not to damage the wiring for the mood lights inside. 3. Use an open-end wrench to loosen the adjustment nut counterclockwise. You can then adjust the height—clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise. 4. After adjustment, test drive the car. If it feels right, tighten the nut clockwise to secure the screw and reinstall the plastic panel. Notes for adjusting clutch height: Clutches come in mechanical and hydraulic types. Mechanical clutches are adjustable, while hydraulic ones are not.
