Manual Transmission Engage Height

cames4 · 08-27-2010, 11:43 AM

Thanks for letting me know that it is adjustable as I will let the dealer know and adjust. My clutch does not start to engage until nearly 1/2 way out then full engage at 3/4 or more. Just a lot of wasted leg action in my humble opinion....

NUTS, I was exicited with your first comment. :-( Guess I will have to manage it and try various foot placements. On another question but releated to the clutch; when I am in first gear up my drive I depress the clutch to slow into the garage. When I do that there is a "clang/bang" at the transmission. Sounds like it is banging against a heat shield or the exhaust. Is it something I am doing wrong/normal/or need to take in?

I have a NISMO (just for reference). When I have the clutch in, everything is nice and quite. Clutch out (not in gear), I hear all sorts of stuff which is wierd to me. As expected, clutch out and in gear (1st mostly), I hear chattering even if I feather the engagement.

I have been successful at reducing the madness and a pretty smooth take off by blipping the throttle a time or two before I release the clutch.

It seems like I had to do the same with my old 240SX, but it had a clutch upgrade.
