what does everyone do about the lightness of the clutch pedal? just live with it? just got it installed today and its lie stepping on air...

How light it is will largely depend on what's on the other end of it???

uprated springs can make the pedal feel better (heavier)
you will quickly get used to the feel though

Surely that's a good thing!

not all the time its not - it has to have some 'feel' - same as all the cars handlings - road feel - throttle feel - if it gets too light you cant sense things properly

Move the cable closer to the pivot point on the pedal, that will make it better.

I fitted a Pinto, I had to do the opposit.
just tooo hard.

fit a barnett clutch (Replacement Springs) that will make the pedal feel more like a car pedal.

when i fitted mine it was the same. pressing the pedal was like pressing air... my dad came round to have a look, and he suggested seeing if the clutch was actually disengaging, so i got it in gear, presses the clutch in, and lo and behold it was doing nothing, the car wouldnt roll.

all i was doing was taking up the slack in the clutch arm which has a very light spring on it. so i adjusted the cable right up removing all that slack, and tried again... it now feels weighted like a clutch should, and actually gisengages like it should :-)
