What?? The reason you adjust the clutch pedal is to avoid the long throw before the bearing and friction plate start to disengage the transmission. That is further from the floor, not closer. With the factory adjustment, the throwout bearing doesn't even begin to engage until you have covered a lot of distance with no effect.


With the proper adjustment, the clutch disengages the tranny sooner, not later. Less pedal motion, not more.
