I got my 914 back from the guy today. Bought pelicans full kit minus flywheel.
300 to replace the clutch plus 65 to machine the flywheel. I couldn’t even drive the son of a bitch because I'm not used to it. That and/or the clutch pedal now is resting about an inch and a half from full top where it was and the release point is ON the floor. Think I'll have him readjust that. I can't leave a stop without nearly stalling it or leaving rubber Clutch pedal is also softer... strange or just feels that way because too much play in the pedal's initial travel? easy to adjust or have them do it.. also he said a plastic cup on the shifter was broken? Shifts fine though? what cup? held in with a allen head? Nic |

When I did my clutch I had the same problem. I would almost bet that your clutch is properly adjusted in the back of the car, but the front is way out. You need to adjust the forward adjustment on the cable, the one that connects to the pedal cluster, this is the one that adjust's the actual feel of the pedal. The rear adjustment is just to make sure the clutch fully engages and disengages, and really has little effect on the pedal. You'll get it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif).
