if so san i have steps on how to

thanks

you cannot adjust a hydraulic clutch :) Only on cable-clutched cars.
The pedal travel changes overtime as the clutch plate wears down and the fluid becomes contaminated.
Change the clutch fluid to some fresh stuff for a start to get that crisp pedal feel back...

Bleed the system simular way to as if your bleading your brakes
you will find the nipple on the end on the line that comes from the cylinder to the box
this will adjust it slightly only and want make any dramatic changes
i may be wrong but i think you cant choose the engagement point only goes back to where its suposed to be

You can do small adjustment on your clutch pedal travel
there are 2 bolts at the top of the clutch pedal which will enable you adjust it less or more free play.

WHOA MAN !!

You're ALWAYS the first to storm in and give a definative answer on all these technical threads but man.. you're always wrong !?!?! where did you / do you get your info/opinions from cause man.. you're sending so many OZHonda newbs up the wrong paths all the time !!

You might not be able to adjust the hydraullic pressure etc but yes you can adjust the engagement point and pedal feel...

The engagement point on a hydraulic cluch is controlled by the basic mechanics of the cluch system itself (the hydraulic cylinders, cluch engagement mechanism etc.) and cannot be adjusted dramatically without changing the hardware. Pretty sure this has been covered here before, try a search for more info.

its called the short answer :) Which , really = No.
Also dont jump to call myself wrong where i havent been told otherwise - there is no definite answer to many mech problems.
Different answers actually apply to the same question - depending on in which context :thumbsup: Anyway , we can agree that the hydraulic mechanism isnt massively "adjustable" to the same degree a cable clutched vehicle.

Oops I wasnt calling Simon a Newby **blushes** but Ben go take a look in a HONDA MAnual for EG/EK and you'll see how to do it.. i'd give details but friend has my manual at his place.. hey KB.. wink

There is some adjustability at the point where the master cylinder connects to the clutch pedal. The master cylinder rod has a thread on the end that connects and has a lock nut holding it in place. From my experience fiddling with this it moves the engage point along the clutch pedal movement by adjusting how far out, or in, the rod is at the pedal idle point. (note this is in my accord so not sure if it's the same for an eg)

fellas. normally there isnt any adjustments ment for Hydraulic clutch systems, as if your clutch is in good order, you should not need to adjust it. however there are ways like you dudes have stated here with moving the entire pedal, also where you can unscrewmaster cylinder rod. put it this way most of the times If we needed to adjust the pedal, the clutch needed replacing.

you cant do it, i had my Gl civic and i had a machanic replace my clutch (old one run out) and asked him if he could change it, and he said you cant do it with these ones ...
