Clutch pedal height
I have a 2000 Civic SiR (Si in the US). My question is does anyone know
what the Honda spec is for the movement of the clutch pedal? What I mean is how far from top to bottom does a properly adjusted clutch pedal go? The reason I ask is that mine seems to be a quite large distance compaired to my friends 1997 civic and I was told the other day at a performance shop that it seems really long compaired to other civics. thanks |

That just may be the way honda is building the clutches for civics these days. I have an O4, EX sedan 5 spd. I can tell you that the clutch stroke is significantly longer than any other manual i have driven. Also, the engagement point is very high. Although the clutch is very smooth, I am getting tired of bringing my knee up to my chest to shift. Could be time for an automatic :) Best of luck, Marc |

On a friend's 90 Integra (130k km) it is in the bottom quarter. His clutch disengages completely only when the pedal hits the floor and over a smaller distance than on my Prelude. There is nothing wrong with his clutch, that's the way he adjusted it. Cosmin |

Re: Clutch pedal height
K i just mesured mine and it is 6.75 in... so i guess that is normal. I
think it must just engage higher and makes it feel really long.
