Question on clutch free play

[DanEC]

Not easy crawling in there with a tape measure, light, and my arm/shoulder but here’s what I got. My pedal is about 8” from the foot box wall and at full stroke it’s about 3-1/2” to 3-3/4” from the wall. As near as I can judge and measure I have 1” free play at the top of pedal - no way to really measure start of engagement at bottom but I would guess about 1 to 1-1/2” off of where the pedal bottoms - probably closer to 1”.

I have my pedal clocked a little further back than you do but you’re a couple inches or more taller than I am from memory. It sits about 1” higher than the brake. But at full stroke my leg is pretty extended as my seat is mounted back pretty good.

But it looks like we have about the same pedal stroke overall and with a 3/4 MC I seem to be getting pretty close to the same engagement range that you are getting with a 7/8 MC. So, may be time to call it good and just try to adapt. My other two manual transmission cars have f airily short clutch pedal strokes so it’s always a bit of adjustment when I climb into the ERA.
