alright, well i reckon im just another addition to all these clutch problems, but i need to make sure. that frickin master cylinder bolt behind the brake mc is a pita to get to which is why i've put off adjusting the clutch pedal.

anywho, i've replaced the clutch MC, rebuilt the slave, flushed lines, bench bled, etc. and my buddy adjusted the pedal almost all the way out. well, since then my pedal has been super stiff, and the clutch engages/disengages only 3 or so inches down. on hot dry days, it will slip within 10 minutes of normal driving, bad. at night, or when it's humid it wont slip at all.

the funny thing is there hasn't been a clutch smell, so im not certain whether the clutch is the problem or the pedal. but i guess if the clutch was shot it wouldnt grab like it does in cool whether

anyways, im sure somebody's got an extremely easy way to adjust the pedal, as i searched and the s14's popped up, way different from the fork style on our older models. theres so much pedal pressure it's painful sitting in stop and go traffic.

nevermind, i just got pulled up. i went ahead and adjusted it, i just unbolted the slave cylinder, as doing so would relieve the pressure so i could turn the fork thing for the pedal. i may have adjusted it too much, as it has about 2-3" of play and engages a couple "s from the floor but it seems to be holding up fine for now. i barked second with my meats on the back, and dogging it with the a/c blowing it never slipped, soo.. we'll have to see when it's 95* tomorrow when it usually slips.

frickin had to bleed it again tho, pita... oh well, maybe i'll be able to take to Indiana
