After driving my '14 BRZ for 3 months, I still felt I hadn't mastered shifting. Occasionally killing the engine at launch, over-revving and just having to think about shifting too much surprised me after having shifted Porsche's, Vettes and Jaguars going back to the late sixties. After finding and reading all of this thread, I decided to adjust the clutch pedal height.
My pedal came from the factory a full 3/4" higher than the brake pedal. I used the method some suggested of backing off the nut, popping the pin and spinning the bracket down 1-1/2 turns, reinstalling the pin and clevis, re-tightening the nut and then taking it for a test spin. This ten minute fix sure seems to have made a big difference. Now the clutch pedal is still a good 1/8" higher than the brake. I'm erring on this relative height, being on the safe side from what I've read here but, so far, seems to be all that's needed. The only thing I didn't figure out was how to get the white nylon part back on the end of the pin. What's it's purpose, anyhow?
Thanks to those that did all the groundwork for this mod. It's much appreciated.
