I wasn't really expecting much but it really does make a difference. its worth the 5min to test it out

I'm curious what does this do for you?

It smoothed out the clutch release action. As i have a 11/05 build MPS6 with the original "grabby" clutch this made a big difference. Although i have had the car for a while now and didn't really mind the feeling of the clutch i thought i'd test this out. It moves the friction point of the clutch a bit closer to the floor where the clutch pedal spring has a more linear spring rate..

I'm not sure if that makes sense but give it a go and see what you think.

I did the clutch adjustment about the same time I complained to the dealer about the clutch. It was some time before it was decided by the dealer to replace the clutch and some time waiting for the new parts to arrive.

The adjustment worked so well that I contemplated not getting the new clutch installed. Rarely stalled the car after the adjustment - much smoother and precise.

Hmm might try it out then, cheers

Since you guys are trying it, I might give it a go. Just makes me a little nervous that the car would be more girlfriend-friendly. The way it is now...she can't drive it!

I did this mod last year and it made a world of difference - could probably go another turn to optimise...

The main aspect of this adjustment is that it makes the leg action more "natural" in dropping the take off point lower down.

How far did you guys actually move the stop bolt in? I am going to have another go at this tomorrow. Btw a tip for those going to try this if you are going to mark the bolt with a marker make sure it doesnt just wipe off *sigh*. I am really struggling to get in their properly and first go I don't think I moved the actuator rod in far enough. Took it for a quick drive and didnt notice any obvious clutch burn and it does feel a bit better now.
