The best tip I can give is to unbolt the throttle pedal to give you unobstructed access to the jam nut and rod.

Below is a video I made to explain how the pedal adjustment plays a role on the fork movement.

I gave it a shot to no avail.


I suspected that it wasn't the throw depth. Drag symptoms occured regardless of the throw depth. The clutch appears to have plenty of dead pedal throw length.


The transmission seems to be able to spin down if I have my foot to the floor. However, Drag reappears when I release to the friction point. The throw depth from floor to friction point is pretty long (as is usual for FRS/BRZ platform)

also if you don't want to adjust your clutch to test it just wedge a piece of wood or a small nut between the the clutch fork and rod to shim it out a bit then see if its helps. if it does adjust accordingly if not time for a teardown inspection.
Yeah, I gave the depth adjustment a shot. Didn't appear to help.


I'm thinking pilot or throw out bearing at this point. I don't think it's pressure plate or flywheel related since I'm not grinding at all. Everything seems fine at speed. Just when I'm stopped, I'm having obvious issues.



Planning on pulling within the next couple of months. To investigate.


Appreciate any further feedback
