Clutch engagement height?
Hi all!,
anyone know which way to LOWER the clutch pedal height?
just installed my centerforce and muncie...and the clutch pedal is so HIGH!...I feel like it closes at almost the TOP of the pedal swing...
i believe I need to move the ZBar connector on the firewall clutch pedal rod...but whihc way?
THANKS!
Ron

You should have at least 1" of freeplay at the pedal. If there is less, you need to loosen the nuts on the pushrod at the Z bar and adjust so there is. Move the Z bar up the pushrod to increase the freeplay.

yeah...it is about .75 inch of freeplay...thanks!
but feels like a "HIGH" clutch...like the gear doesnt totally engage until clutch pedal almost returns to top...wondering how to make it feel lower...

I just did the clutch kit when I did my motor last Spring 2014 and I put it a RAM HDX Street/Strip clutch kit with 30-60% more clamping force. The clutch begins to engage right off the floor and is fully engaged about 50% up from the floor with the clutch pedal. Not sure how to correct your application but shared my recent experience with another aftermarket clutch kit for comparison.
