You need to lay on your back and look under the dash at the clutch pedal assembly, theres an adjustment screw and a lock nut, loosen the lock nut and adjust the adjustment screw, then tighten the lock nut and give it a road test....continue to adjust until it feels good to you...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, My Boxster was bought with the statement that the clutch was "just replaced". My pedal travels about 3/4 of the way off of the floor before the drivetrain begins to engage. I have full power just before the pedal neears the full up position. Is this normal? Soooo many questions about normal. Probably should have bought one with a warranty.

POST 2Original post

Probably needs some adjustment to make it engage more toward the middle of the pedal travel. Sometimes a new clutch requires it. Not a big deal and it should be expensive.

POST 3Original post

Its not an expensive or difficult task to do on ones own. You need to lay on your back and look under the dash at the clutch pedal assembly, theres an adjustment screw and a lock nut, loosen the lock nut and adjust the adjustment screw, then tighten the lock nut and give it a road test....continue to adjust until it feels good to you... Make sure you dont make it engauge too low cause you can grind your gears if the pressure plate isnt fully disengauged from the clutch disc.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It must be a cable controlled clutch. I'll be down that way doing the ignition switch. I can make a project day out of it if I wash and wax the car too! Thanks for the advice.
