I have a 96 200sx se-r and i have a problem with the clutch engagement. there is about 2 inches in the pedal of free play before the clutch actually engages. i have already adjusted the cable to aid the problem and it is to the point to were i cannot adjust it anymore. im thinking i was sent the wrong pressure plate in my clutch kit. does anyone know what could be the problem?thankshttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zeropost?cmd=newtopic&id=169#

Most cars have some give in clutch pedal movement before there is engagement/disengagement. Audi/VW/Porsches are the exception to that, they have a very high engagement point.

Actually this is a common problem with the b13/b14 guys especially when using aftermarket clutch kits. There is a "homedepot" fix that will give you more clutch adjustment. You need to buy a 1"X3/4" Copper reducer.



Finished product will look like this...



You need to also add a washer the same diameter as the bushing on the end of the clutch cable so the reducer does not cut into the bushing.

The other option instead of a washer is this....



You will have all the adjustment you will need.

cool thanks man. that's gonna help a lot! i appreciate it!

Hi RED_DET and RyanM,
I know this is an old thread. Can you provide pics/details of homedepot mod on clutch cable? Pics not showing on thread anymore. I’m having the same problem with aftermarket cable I installed. Clutch pedal engages really low and pedal comes back up real slow too. I’ve adjusted pedal and cable inside engine bay. I did not have these issues before old cable snapped. I have 1992 Sentra 1.6L Thanks.
