Lower the clutch pedal

Post by sammydafish »

Is there a way I can lower the clutch pedal on my 90 Legacy? It's a cable clutch, so I'm not to sure I can do this. There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the end play. I'd fabricate something, but I'm afraid the throw or angle of the cabel pull might not work out. If it were a hydrolic clutch it wouldn;t be an issue, but I don;t have a spare pedal set, so if I screw it up it'll be hard to fix.

The problem is that my foot gets stuck on the clutch pedal when left foot braking.

How hard would it be to swap to a hydrolic clutch?

Cause sometimes you need throttle and brake at the same time when you're goin like stink.

You can adjust the height by adjusting the clutch cruise sensor position. That sets the pedal height. If you do this though, you will need to back off the adjustment at the clutch fork side on both the clutch cable & probably hill holder....

What about raising the brake pedal by fitting on some kind of aftermarket pedal pad?
