Default Adjusting clutch

My clutch slipped like down on the pedal or some shit i cant explain it. But can you adjust the pedal???

Because its so low that i cant engage/disengage the clutch. Its getting the point where i cant put the car into gear. At all... So im sitting at a green light trying to put it in gear and people are honking and there is nothing i can do about it. Help!!

Aaron i had that same problem. It resulted in my clutch blowing out. Hopefully its something different with you. WHen you say your pedal is low, is it sticking to the floor?

there should be a bolt(s) near the bottom of the clutch loosen them up and pull the pedal up then tighten the bolts...if the pedal still sticks replace the clutch

.02 cents

It doesnt stick to the floor its just i have to push it to the floor to get it to disengage, but it still is not all the way disengaging. Can you adjust a hydraulic clutch? or just where the pedal hits?

Negative on the pumping of the clutch. Its just like too low i cant explain it. So bgy adjusting the rod on the master cylinder it should raise the clutch and stuff?

when you adjust the pedal there should be .2-.5 inches of freeplay before resistance from the clutch is felt

right from the owners manual

Maybe the slave cylinder is going bad. They usually will before the master goes.

Just stick your finger in the rubber boot and see if you feel fluid. If you can feel fluid its probably slowly leaking it out.

It does not sound like an adjustment if it just suddenly changed.
