Hi everyone, I have a 1996 Legacy L and I just had a new clutch and flywheel installed. Before this my clutch was wicked smooth, and i only had to put my foot about half way to the floor to change gears, not the peadal feels really loose and i need to go all the way to the floor to shift anyone know how to adjust the clutch?

A low engagement point is typical of a brand new clutch, I think. After you break it in it's likely to be fine

The usual break-in period for most clutches is something like 250ish miles of mixed (highway and city) driving. Just drive gently.
