I had an ACT installed. But I do not like the fact, that it now engages right at the floor. How can I adjust it?

My car is slowly coming back together

 

there's an adjustment rod on the pedal that can be adjusted for freeplay. it only has so much adjustment, but basically all ACT clutches engage close to the floor.

 

That sucks I hate the fact I cant rev it up while letting the clutch out

 

I have had the ACT since december, It does not seem to grab like it should? I dont know if I have scratched 2nd yet, not that I try, but it should have happend. I got fourth @ 60 with my folks 6 spd (wet) It was cool the car rocked left and right.

Does the ACT have to be broken in?

 

I was told that the street disc really didn't need to be broken in by the clutch guys I bought it from...he said make sure EVERYTHING was clean, and that all I needed to do was drive it easy for a day or so...then I could give it hell.

I haven't tried this yet, but I think I'll take it easy for a couple of days just to be on the safe side.

 

After resolving my clutch/trans/bellhousing/clutch fork set up with the swap, I realized that there is some adjustability in the length of the slave rod. You can usually lengthen the rod by another 1/8" which does raise the engagement at the pedal. The rod from a late 80s B2000 is significantly longer and can be cut down to remove the tolerance. Make sure the clutch slave is properly bled prior to measuring tolerance. - rob

 

funny this should be mentioned, i had to adjust mine last night as it had wiggled loose and engaging way too high.

 

When I installed my ACT, it did the same thing. The contact point was at the floor. I adjusted the peddle all the way up and installed a spacer on the clutch arm at the slave piston. Several months later, the peddle has come up, and I have removed the spacer. It seems that the more I drive it, the better it gets. I am going to have to re-adjust the peddle back down a little now.

My ACT HD engaged really close to the floor at first too, even after I adjusted the pedal. After about 800 miles, it feels like it's almost back at the stock height.
