Clutch adjustment possible?

Hey guys, was wondering if it is possible to adjust the clutch to release lower? I feel like my release point is too high.

Not certain, but I asked the same thing years ago and was told "no" - not adjustable.

Wow, I feel the same way also. That would be great if it was able to be adjusted.

I agree could we use a spacer on the cable.

I prefer a lower engagement point, as well, but even more disturbing is the vague feel of the power assited turbo clutch. I am in the process of converting to a GT2-GT3 non-assisted clutch set-up. I think this will make the clutch engagement spot less of an issue and restore a predictable clutch take-up, like older 911's. There will be additional effort required (over the no effort stock clutch), especially with a stronger pressure plate.

The parts required for the GT3 conversion are the GT2-GT3 slave and master cylinders and a special order line.

Great idea John. I'm anxiously awaiting your results. When are you expecting to do this?

Awesome, looking forward to hearing about this project.

As I understand it, EVOMS is working on a replacement slave cyl. too?

It's being done now in conjuction with a Protomotive upgrade - about 3 weeks or so and I'll know how it works...

Any word on how that switch to the GT2/3 setup went?
