Adjusting a DSM clutch
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

Re: Adjusting a DSM clutch
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.

Re: Adjusting a DSM clutch
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.

Re: Adjusting a DSM clutch
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.

Re: Adjusting a DSM clutch
If the rod going to the pedal assembly is greasy, then chances are high that your master is leaking, which is causing your clutch issues.

Re: Adjusting a DSM clutch
yeah ive been noticing that the car shifts better when its cold, but lets say ive been driving it for 30 mins the car will not go into gear at a dead stop. and then once it does go in the car wil pull itself with the clutch pedal to the floor

Re: Adjusting a DSM clutch
Yup, replace your master. Don't even bother adjusting this one, you'll just be wasting your time.

Yup. Replace your master cylinder, and at the same time might as well do the slave cylinder and put in a stainless steel clutch line to replace the soft rubber section. You'll thank us later. 
Just make sure you bleed the system right.
