I'm thinking I should buy / install a spare OEM shifter (Have a TWM installed) and bring the thing to the dealer to check out. Have a feeling they're going to tell me it's fine tho. Guess what I really need is someone to push the pedal while I watch the slave to see if it's really moving like it's supposed to be. It's gotta be my car, seems everyone has the extra play. Hmm..

u can also flush ur clutch reservior with completely new fluid. a small air bubble in the line is enough to give you that extra play or prevent u from disengaging at all.

Hey just did this mod today and it is a great mod. It is a bit difficult to do the work up in there but it is worth the effort. It is great bang for your buck too!

Not sure if this has been discussed. But is there a way you can start the car without having to push down the clutch ? I did this with my old car but am new to scion t/c's 08

theres an easy way and a hard way. the easy way is a simple bypass, but you will lose ur cruise control. the hard way...uhmm..well not sure how that works. but just push down the clutch to start the car, is it that hard?

Just got done doing this mod and my shifting is 100x smoother, especially going from 1st to 2nd gear. It was pretty diffucult to reach my arm in the small area and it took me alot of trial and error to get it adjusted to the right length but it was difinitely worth the time and the 4 bucks.

nice.. i might do this.. i have TRD clutch.. but the biggest problem is.. it feels spongy when i press the clutch .. when i start pressing the pedal in the first half inch it feels too soft.. after that its really hard and nice (sporty) what can i do with that first inch? is there a way to adjust the pedal there?

I know this is a super old thread but i'm in the process of setting up this mod. What is the best way of figuring out how far in your clutch has to be so that is is not slipping when you shift? i was thinking finding a flat spot and listening really closely, I figure there must be a more exacting way. Thanks for any help.

yea man, you just gotta duct tape a clutch pedal next to your brake pedal and you'll be set and ready to jet!

Are you running a stock clutch? If so, you'll be good running the elevator bolt down as far as you can. What you can do to make sure its disengaging fully is park your car on _________flat ground. Push your clutch pedal all the way to the floor and SLOWLY release it. If you did it correctly, as soon as you release the slightest pressure off the pedal you should feel the car start moving. and you should feel the car stop pulling once you push it to the floor again. If not, you need to adjust the bolt down further. In my case, i ran the set-nut all the way to the top and that was PERFECT for me. could be different for you...

Let me know if that helps at all. I can make some diagrams if need when I get home.

Just did this 2 my car about 10 mins ago... Did everything the exact same way except i used 2 thick Magic Sliders on top another and taped them together to the clutch pedal with electrical tape just in case they don't fall off...
