Installed New Clutch-No pedal travel

95Convert · 03-09-2001, 05:31 PM

I just finished installing a new King Cobra clutch and pressure plate in my '86 GT. I have done this a dozen times between this car and others I have worked on. After putting it all together, I find that the clutch engages MAYBE a 1/4-1/2 off the floor, virtually no pedal travel. Stock, it used to engage about halfway through the pedal travel. I have an adjustable quadrant, but that checks our fine, too. What could Be the problem?

well from what I have understood from your post you are talking about the actual travel it takes to have your clutch fully engaged right? Well, I just put a king cobra in mine last week and noticed the same thing...it just takes less travel for it to be engaged
