Clutch pedal engages high

[PaulE]

Also replace the release bearing if you are replacing everything else. Check the condition of the flywheel face and also the spring return action (or whatever it is called) on the dual mass flywheel and replace the flywheel if needed. I think the pilot bearing is integral to the flywheel. It sounds like you want a "normal' clutch driving experience on the street, so I wouldn't recommend a lightweight flywheel. The AOS may be a bit easier to change with the transmission out, check the transmission mounts and the CV joints and boots.

Thanks PaulE, yeah im going to replace the release bearing for sure. I’m hoping with the relatively low miles the flywheel would still be fine it’s not jerky at all on engagement. The car came with a standard Sachs clutch kit which I am going to use. With the clutch being hydraulic you kinda get what you get on the engagement point, I want to do all I can for it to engage in the more mid range on the pedal. The Box came with a Motorsport AOS installed so I’ll keep that. I was hoping there was maybe a different actuator arm or known suggestion for me to address.
Thanks again

You should be all set with the Motorsports AOS! One thing my shop told me is that the bolts that attach the flywheel to the crank are the type that are torque once - so they should be replaced every time the flywheel is removed from the crank. Hope it works, my friend in LA is living with his high clutch engagement!

I ordered parts from Pelican on the 24th which showed up yesterday! Waiting on my LN Retrofit which will be the end of the week. I’m making the tooling and could use some help on the IMS center bolt thread size so I can get a coupling nut for my puller. I’m not going to start the tear down until next week and from pictures the LN centerbolt looks larger? Thanks for your help......
