How do you go about adjusting the clutch in these cars?

I just put a new clutch in my DLM car and it engages extremely high on the pedal. It could use some adjusting. What's the easiest way of doing this? Thanks--Andy

No real adjustment beyond making sure it is bled right with new fluids. The pedal height may change as the clutch breaks in a little.

Yeah, mine also is high apon engagement, but that's the way it is. You can't adjust it.

Gen III and IV clutches seem to engage much higher than Gen II, not sure why.

Hi Andy,

I'm going to assume that your clutch is something other then stock? The only way to get your clutch engage lower is to install a shim under the slave cylinder [move it closer to the clutch], .050"-.075" should do it? It's going to be a "try and feel" task.
