Should be an adjustment at the master cylinder side, but I don't know if it will make much difference in pedal height. Attached are the instructions for a 123, I have no idea if they apply to a 124 but perhaps they'll point you in the right direction. -Max

I am used to my gwagen clutch on the 123 now, big heavy lots of torque. I was also dickering around with the clutch pedal (sits really high seems that there is no adjustment, also engages really high, think I am going to shim out the slave cylinder to compensate) and the shifter REALLY takes some getting used to. Because the sweet spot was so high I was paying more attention to clutch slippage than anything else... To be fair my exhaust manifold has a leak the size of the grand canyon in it and I was driving in 25mph zones. Also the ALDA has not been touched yet and it def needs a smidgen of a turn. It was also 2am and the third day in a row I worked on the car. I was very tired. The car needs lots of other work as well. The rear end is all over the place. The good news is that when it was spooled and tached up it seemed that I had A LOT more power/torque than before. This weekend I am hoping to spend more time on it and get a better reading overall. -Rolf On 11/10/2010 10:47 AM, Alex Chamberlain wrote: > On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 6:58 AM, Rolf<r...@winmutt.com> wrote: >> As >> of now I have only driven it around the block a few times.
