How to adjust when the clutch lets up with the clutch pedal
I think the name says it all. Right now my clutch lets up really low, which is how I like it. i want to teach my wife how to drive manual, and the best cars are those where the clutch lets up really high. Is that adjustable somehow?

?? That honestly doesn't make sense. Your clutch pedal should fully depress to the floor board and extend to normal state when released. Your line needs to be bled or your spring on your clutch housing is SPRUNG.

Re: How to adjust when the clutch lets up with the clutch pedal
Usually you can adjust the clutch cylinder rod, it's generally threaded but it isn't a great idea to adjust it very much. The pedal has a lot of leverage and if the rod is adjusted out of the pedal too far the rod can hit the back of the cylinder body and cause all kinds of fun problems. I'd say to teach her the way it is at the moment and don't bother adjusting it.
