Civic owners with Manual Trannys (question)
How much Clutch pedal travel from the floor do you have until the clutch starts to ingage? I have 9000 miles on my car and have been driving standard all my life, and notice I have about 2 to 3 inches of travel before it starts to grab, there is no adjustment and it seems to me thats a bit to much travel. BTW it doesn't slip and seems to work fine, so is this normal?

yeah, its about that much. that kind of surprized me when i first drove it.
theres also quite a bit of travel from when the pedal is up to when it actually begins to feel like its releasing the clutch.

Rep Power: 0 Mine is about 2 inches, 6k miles on it. It might've worn a little since I learned manual on this car, so maybe 2.5 inches now? But definitely the clutch has some dead room. But then, most manual transmission cars have that. At least, ones I've driven.

Rep Power: 0 from my knowledge about clutches, i believe you cannot adjust our clutch's engagement point because the clutch in our cars is a hydraulic clutch, not a cable clutch, cable clutch can be adjusted by tightening the clutch...
