Default Clutch adjustment

The clutch seems to be grabbing too early. Is there a adjustment?

No adjustment on the OEM clutch system, hence will self adjust.

As for engagement on the top end of the pedal stroke, that is normal.


If your looking to change the engagement point of the pedal slightly lower in the pedal push, then would need to swap out to say a Tick master cylinder.
The tick master cylinder pushes more volume per pedal push, and it has an adjuster that you need to put in some free play in the top of the pedal push, so it does not over through the TB at the bottom of the push isntead. So yes, it will lower the pedal engagement point, but since it is pushing more fluid volume per pedal push, shorten the engagement point travel on the pedal isntead..

Is this a new problem or has it existed since you owned your C6?

The reason I ask is many swap the stock C6 clutch spring for the lighter C5 clutch spring as it really helps with the feel of the stock C6 clutch engagement. It's the best $15 investment you can make to your M6.
