Got a 92 awd laser, with the car in 1st gear it will pull when the pedal is all the way to the floor. just wondering how to adjust it so the clutch will grab off of the floor

I believe the adjustment is the same as a 2g. if you look at the clutch pedal you should be able to rotate the rod and put it to your liking. For it grabbing off the ground you would rotate it to the left (if your looking towards the pedal) if your looking towards the rear of the car it would be towards the right.

Tom, you forgot the part about scooting the seat back as far as possible and sticking your face under the brake pedal, kink your neck, and twist your back in the most awkward position possible. I actually did this on an evo recently and was amazed how familiar the position was (I did this on my 1G and 2G), suck.

Most likely your master or slave cylinder is shot.

Sorry, i forgot about that. Ive been inverted MANY times in my cars adjusting my clutch, my friends clutch, and every other dsm in californias clutch. I think they were just pretending they didnt know what they were doing because they didnt want to do it.
