I've heard conflicting information about being able to adjust the clutch pedal on 240's.....some say you can, some say you can't, and I personally just dont know and I can't figure out how to adjust it even if it is adjustable. So what I want to do is somehow get my clutch to grab sooner, as in, not having to let the clutch pedal out really far until it grabs. I have an ACT Street clutch, and it grabs great, never slips....just doesn't grab until the pedal is pretty far out (away from the firewall). So all I want is to somehow get it to grab sooner (closer to the firewall). Do I have any options here?

see the lock nut? loosen that and remove clevis pin. the clevis pin is the pin that goes through the fork type deal. spin the fork on the little shaft. if you spin it in it will give you more freeplay. some freeplay is good in that releasing the pedal will release all the pressure from the clutch. that helps it not to slip. if you want to disengage lower then you need more freeplay.

i think hes talking about changing the mechanical advantage of the system to get a "more sensitive" pedal. the only way you can get around that is to change the diamiters of the master and slave cylinders, but it will increase the pedal effort required
