[taiman]

hey peeps i was wondering if any1 can help me with sumfing...

ive got an eg si and i my clutch friction point is a bit high..

i was wondering if there is a way to send that friction point lower down the pedal...

so the clutch engages sooner..

thanks for any help...

since the clutch is hydraulically operated you cannot adjust the pickup of the pedal - perhaps it is worn or the fluid needs to be replaced.

Follow this DIY guide - DIY clutch fluid change *CLICK HERE* (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20212) - very easy yto do and hopefully will help out with your pedal feel.

Good luck

just to re-iterate -

you loosen the valve , put on the hose - then slowly pump the clutch pedal. First , it will go flat to the floor - dont worry - just slowly pump it in and out with your hand. Make sure as you pump to top up the clutch slave resevoir with fresh fluid. Once fresh fluid ( and no bubbles) comes out the bleed valve , re-tighten and top up the clutch once again - and thats it :)
Hope it helps

if its not the clutch fluid then your clutch is on its way out... as Ben said its a hydraulic clutch so could be worn... and will get worse rather quickly once the friction point starts to come up
