clutch engagement point

[boyurlazy]

just wanted to know if the engagement point is mid way up...
felt strange to me when i drove my ep3

[epshtielsl]

What year EP do you drive? I know the 04/05 models have a lighter clutch than the 02/03. I have a 2002 and I guess it's about half way up, maybe a little less than half way (closer to the floor board).

All years use the same clutch, CMC and slave, no differences. The engagement point is usually about mid stroke.

yes sir midway sounds about right

[ep3er]

I once measured mine at 7 1/4in from the floor to engagement point.

[boyurlazy]

gonna measure mine hopefully today...this is a 2004

thanks for the reply, just feels high compared to my del sol, which was very low

Are you sure? Because I have a 2002 EP and I drove rnam1's stock 2005 and the clutch felt waaay lighter.

i think the clutch weight differs from ep to ep... i drove drove my friends 02 ep and his clutch felt lighter than my 04... :noidea:

edit: weight differs, but engaging point is constant... at least it felt that way...

Then, you sir, need a washer behind the pivot ball.

I still have to rewrite the thread on this. But basically you add a washer behind the pivot ball for the throwout arm. It will move the engagment point back to where it should be.

soooo. .. is it going to hurt anything If I don't? I honestly wont have time to do this anytime in the future lol
