Is my clutch normal?

kineticZ · 10-27-2014, 04:54 PM

I've driven manual gearboxes since I started driving. Like everyone said, the point where it grabs is a little high compared to most cars. I had an EVO9 before and they are very similar in pedal travel and catch point, so it was an easy transition for me.

And regarding not pushing the clutch all the way in when shifting, I usually don't when driving normally. My seat is positioned far enough so there is about an inch of pedal travel left when depressing the clutch at a very comfortable position. If I need to depress it fully, I just fully extend my left leg (during aggressive driving).

Just wanted to share, I'm sure most of you know this
