Default Changing the Clutch Release Point?

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this has been covered before..altho I have a feeling I know the answer.

Just picked up a '00 TT 180 Quattro. I'm used to driving Honda's and Toyotas. They have adjustable rods that connect the Clutch Master Cylinder to the Clutch pedal. They usually have low clutch release points - and I usually adjust them slightly lower than that.

Is there any possible way to lower the Clutch Release Point on the TT?? The release point (in my opinion) is waaaay too high.

The car has 100,600 miles, but the clutch still seems to grab okay. The release point is just annoyingly high in the pedal travel.

any input would be appreciated!

thanks,

same way you do the Honda, clutch pedal thrust rod on the peddle has locking nuts so release them and adjust away (clutch pedal height adjustment )

oh, sweetness.

I've been told the audi's (and other european brands) didn't have that adjustment..and since I picked the car up late last night, didn't get a chance to see for myself.

this is great news! thanks so much.

You could always truncate your left leg
