#1: Clutch rest position Author: evilnickwong, Location: TTDI, KL

Quick question, here is a photo of my pedals:

The main thing is, my clutch sits much higher than my brake. Is there any way to adjust this to the same level? That distance is completely free play, the clutch only starts to have resistance after it goes below the brake level.

I heard can adjust the eccentric bolt (the one I circled), but not sure how?

I don't think it's normal, I have a thread on this over at r3v and most have their pedals at the same level.

Yalor, don't think it should be like this.

The bolt I circled in the picture, there is a dot or marking on it, can you check yours and see where it is pointed? I read it should be pointed either towards the engine or away from engine, 2 position only. But not sure, so I didn't go and adjust and see lol.

I also dont know... have to open and see. BUT when i convert my auto to manual and saw the pedal before install, the pedal pops freely like spring (brake and clutch) I suspect its the cable, if the cable to long the clutch might be higher - Maybe only... will check and see.

IT's definitely not normal. Mine are all sitting on the same level.

I had the opposite problem. My clutch pedal is just a little lower than the brake pedal. Well it's negligible i guess but certainly ain't looking good.
