1994 sho clutch adjustment

[TheSHOof1994]

Just got a 1994 sho and you have to push the clutch all the way to the floor. plus the seat is stuck way back. any help?

EDIT: Thanks for your help but I was unclear, the clutch pedal has plenty of spring and requires a good amount of force to push down. the problem is you have to push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to fully disengage the clutch, its a very long motion. i was hoping there was a way to adjust the pedal. also the fluid in the assisted clutch resivior is full.

The only adjustment is pulling up on the clutch pedal with your foot. If that does not improve anything then something is not up to par.

The clutch is all mechanical, it has no hydraulics. I'm having a similar issue I think, mine also disengages right off of the floor. I haven't been able to adjust it in any way that helps.

No springs or linkages associated with the clutch pedal that can be adjusted/replaced?

typically, when one has the symptoms you describe, the clutch cable needs to be adjusted.

to do this, (with the engine off) you pull upwards on the clutch pedal. there is a ratcheting mechanism in the clutch pedal asm that will take up the slack in the cable.

if the pedal adjustment does nothing, you need to look at the adjustment quadrant to see if (1) the spring is broken or misplaced, or (2) the quadrant is stuck.

I pulled up on the clutch pedal but there was no give, no ratchet sound. any suggestions?

 

[rubydist]

yes, I suggest you re-read post #6.

oh nice, is the adjustment qaudrant just up under the dash/firewall by the pedal?

Am I the only one who likes having a clutch that disengages right at the floor?

 

[TheSHOof1994]

I don't really know what i like better but Im just learning manual and my foot keeps getting in the way of me pushing the pedal all the way down.

 

[General Geoff]

How does your other foot get in the way? Just curious.

 

[TheSHOof1994]

no not my oyher foot,when the clutch is almost all the way down my shoe will catch on the carpet to the left

 

[General Geoff]

Ah, yeah you have to put your foot vertical and squarely push down on the pedal with your knee, not your ankle. Use your ankle to angle the ball of your foot toward the firewall to get the pedal all the way to the floor, if need be.
