Default GS-R for 5375! (Hydraulic tranny adjustment)

I test drove a 95 GS-R yesterday and I must say that it's a pretty quick car ( the original owner is selling for 5375 $; it has 142,000 miles, full leather interior immaculate condition, black/black). The car was fawkin sweet. The only thing that I noticed was that you had to bring the clutch pedal all the way back up after you pressed it, in order to release it. I know on my LS with cable tranny, I adjusted it so that in order to release the clutch, you only have to lift it about an inch and a half off of the floor, after you press it. Is there any way to adjust a hydraulic tranny so that you dont have to bring it all the way back up after pressing it ?

Unfortunately there is no way of adjusting the engagement point on G3 tegs. I think a heavy duty clutch disc/pressure plate might lower the engagement point a little bit though.

the clutch may be going on that car. Seems to be a high engagement point for a gsr. Mine isn't that high

it was not installed correctly. And im pretty sure there is an adjustment in the car you can make for the pedal, but how it interacts with the clutch i know not.

Air in the lines usually gives a low engagement point, just like air in the brakes means the pedal will go closer to the floor.

A worn out disk (beyond the ability of the system to self-adjust) would give a high engagement point, then eventually it would'nt engage at all.

The push-rod that goes into the master cylinder can be adjusted for length. There's a lock-nut near the clevis that attaches to the pedal. Shorten the push rod to put the engagement point closer to the floor. But if the real reason is the clutch is worn out, this won't do any good.

its going. hydrolic is pretty straight forward, check the master and slave cylinder, if ones going, replace it.

if it wasn't installed properly, pressure plate and stuff it probably wouldn't work either cause they either do or don't, im pretty sure.

doesnt the clutch switch adjust the catching height??
