The first ones engaged much lower and were much heavier, the current clutch starts engaging halfway up and isnt fully engaged till you let off completely, its also light as hell. Yeah my clutch is almost fully travelled by the time I come off it. Guess it’s normal on the 03’s. Why the low pedal?
What happens when the clutch is not pressed down?
When the clutch is pressed in, the sensor is closed by a mechanical contact so the circuit can be complete between the ignition key and the starter motor. This allows the vehicle to start. When the clutch is not pressed down, the switch is open and the circuit is not complete, thereby the vehicle cannot be started.
When do I fully engage the clutch pedal?
My clutch fully disengages with the pedal less than halfway down and doesn’t fully engage until the pedal is almost all the way to the top of its travel.
