I might be stating the obvious, but you can adjust the clutch pedal on an SPF

There is an adjustment on this car. It's behind the clutch pedal in the driver's footwell.

There is a rod with an adjustment nut on it. I adjusted it so that there was a hair of freeplay and that seemed to help. However, there are three holes on the clutch pedal where this actuation rod attaches to the pedal. Mine is set in the middle hole. Would moving it to the lower hole (thus increasing the stroke of the rod help any? Kind of nervous running a clutch with no freeplay.

I agree with most about the clutch is dragging. Your slave cylinder isn't pushing your clutch fork far enough. I build a nice slave cylinder set up that will work with most if not all tko-600 setups.

The only way to adjust my clutch is to remove one or two of the four shims that are holding the slave cylinder mounting bracket to the trans.

Will let you know if this is the answer after a drive tomorrow.

We just had a recent thread on this last week. The cure is to drill a hole in the end of the fork and use a threaded rod from the slave. It makes adjusting your clutch a cinch. Unfortunately, drilling the clutch fork while it's still in the car is virtually impossible. There might be some sort of special drill that would do it, but I don't know of one.
