- Clutch pedal adjustment is an important part of your Subaru clutch, transmission, or engine install. Tom from our engine department joins Anthony in explaining the risk of poor clutch adjustment, the damage it can cause, and how to adjust your clutch pedal in this week’s video. Don’t let your engine fall victim to improper clutch pedal adjustment!

Thanks. This softened up my clutch and helped adjust my clutch engagement point. Now feels more natural in a wrx.
Glad it helped!
Got my master cylinder replaced and pedal had a dead spot still!! Adjusted it and now it is perfect thanks iag! Just another reason why you guys are the best subaru company
rabbit hole I have traveled. Thank you for the video!
I don’t have a competition clutch, but I definitely have more than 3/8” play in my clutch pedal. Tried to get some warranty work around the clutch and gearbox and the “master tech” didn’t know how to adjust it on my GR Corolla. I experienced a few mis-shifts more than I would have liked and going to try this to see if I can reduce the play a bit without overdoing it.
Priceless education, thanks guys
This knowledge is priceless!! Thank you!!! 🙏 Definitely good to know!
I had a horrendous noise coming from 4th and 5th and had adjusted the new clutch many times but setting the free play at the slave cylinder was what ended the noise problem. I made a custom slave push rod so I can set the clutch pedal. Then adjust the slave to perfect and I also built a longer arm so I have a shorter clutch making all this way more advanced but repeat process over and over again and then make the correct clutch travel distance and line that up with the clutch slave cylinder and yes it’s all crucial to a good drive feelingS
I watched the video, and I applied the this tech to my 2010 WRX. I have a 1999 JDM 6 speed with a stage 4 clutch, I've had a lot if issues with noise and extended clutch problems. This worked great, there are two clutch sensors that I had to adjust. I used a 3\4 inch long screw, and some lock tight. I also had to cutdown the tap and wield a small T handle to make it super short. And I didn't have to remove the gas peddle.
Thank you. This saved me a lot of money.
Glad we could help you with the info.
Does the stock clutch fork for a BRZ/86/FRS need free play like that between the fork and the slave cylinder? I can't find any information on this in service manuals or the like. Most people describe free play as the distance between when you start pressing the pedal and when the clutch disengages, not when the slave cylinder hits the clutch fork. I also can't seem to depress my slave cylinder which according to the service manual is a bad thing. Haven't checked to see if my pedal travel is within spec.
Thanks I had no idea
Would y'all say this works for adjustment clutches in other cars?
is this needed when replacing clutch on my 2005 sti thinking about going with xclutch
That’s the clutch master cylinder, but good try.
Also, this upgrade can be counterintuitive when running a HD pressure plate as the counterforce is provided by the crank making contact with the bearings. The disk could not be disengaging entirely making shifting even worse and more resistive causing premature synchro wear.
I try to have my release point about half way through the pedal throw
Hey man my clutch fork has 0 play. We adjusted it then the clutch fork has started to make a “click” noise in the clutch fork and there is now no play. We adjusted the clutch pedal back to stock but there is still no play in the clutch fork. Its all OEM.
How long is that bolt?
thought I had rod knock but wondering if this is what happened
Having to push the clutch in to start the car annoyed me, so I made a clutch bypass switch with a momentary button so I can start the car in neutral instead of putting pressure on the thrust bearings with no oil present when starting... The switch is in parallel with the stock clutch switch so it still functions 😊
if you have a slave that is inside the bell housing you cannot move the fork as there is no fork, so what are you supposed to do in a situation like this? my 350z has a slave that is a rubber boot style inside the bell housing, there is no way to check it. and if you adjust this kind wrong you wont have enough pressure in the rubber slave inside the bell housing to push against the pressure plate and then you wont be able to change gears while driving.
How do you tap the hole when the clutch pedal is in the car. My tool hits the clutch pedal
We use a socket tap.
So, oe clutch and clutch pedal adjustment should be fine/good. This is for ppl who have switched out the OE clutch for an aftermarket multi disk/plate clutch set up (on race cars or those with mad hp yo...yes? )
Good video, just a bit misleading in the beginning making me think my oe clutch (pedal) is misaligned
All clutches require adjustment but the pedal stop is only required for multi disc clutches.
@@theiagchannel does the OEM clutch still need 3/8" or is there a different spec? Also with OEM clutch do you need to adjust the clutch start switch too?
@@esoterikk1 Hey man what did u end up doing?
@@cadcc nothing, I had shudder and it just went away with use
Ps.. Subaru hydro clutches are the hardest to bleed IV ever done. I had to make a custom syringe to suck fluid and air out and then lift clutch and push as much fluid as you can press, untill the syringe gets rock hard. Then close nipple. This will solve your clutch problems.
I have a stock 2017 wrx and my clutch feels heavy, I come from a Honda so this clutch feels like a stage 3 or 4 or something. The clutch barely has any free play and it’s insanely stiff, idk if adjusting my pedal is going to help w the stiffness and heaviness.
I’ve stalled this car like never before because first gear is just insanely hard due to the clutch so yea if you guys have any idea if adjusting my clutch pedal will work that’ll be very helpful.
would this help if my clutch is getting stuck every time I press it? I only have to press halfway and it gets stuck. When I press all the way it gets stuck and I cant shift out of neutral.
Yes
Are you supposed to push the clutch pedal all the way in or just halfway when shifting?
you can disengage it while driving at about half, maybe slightly more, really depends where your clutch actually disengages.ideally this is the best way to be shifting anyways. all the way in is only for starting, or blowing cylinders, and i guess getting your warranty denied on your IAG engine lol
Where do you get a peddle stop?
Hardware store bolt section.
Crazy smart guys💖🔰💪
This only applies for multi disk clutches right?
Any aftermarket clutch should at least have the pedal checked and adjusted as needed.

Hey IAG, Does Tom do clutch pedal adjustment's for customers?
We unfortunately do not
@@theiagchannel 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Should this be done to the stock clutch as well?
NO
All clutches require adjustment but the pedal stop is only required for multi disc clutches.
@@theiagchannel just replaced the master clutch cylinder on my 17 wrx... now pedal feels much stiffer. What kind of pedal free play should I be looking for from rest?
@@diapermaverick6287 should be around 8mm from rest
will this be the same on the 15+ WRX?
Any luck?
@joeferry3558 different clutch system. Just follow the oem manual. Basically just have to adjust it where the plunger on the inside of the car slides laterally which is different than clutch pedal adjustment itself.
My sti has a competition clutch, and now the engine has a knocking sound when it's warm... Think the previous owner should have followed the instructions 😢
I have bleed the slave, adjusted that rod up and down, nothing is cracked and i still have too much free play any idea why that is?
Shoot us a support message to support@iagperformance.com with the type of clutch you have and we would be happy to diagnose some suggestions for you.
Did you ever resolve the issue ? I have the same problem. Just replacement clutch master and slave cylinder and bleed very thoroughly. And still have way to much free play.
I ended up replacing both master and slave. The master was leaking internally. Felt much different pressing it by hand out of the car. I still have a little of free travel till I feel pressure but at that point I’d have to adjust the point of which the video referenced.
I also have an exedy stage 1 HD in the car. My pedal feel will be different to a stock one.
@Daewu after watching this vid I decided to give the threaded rode a try. In the video it says to losses the locking nut and twist the rod counter clockwise but for me when I went counterclockwise it got worse so then went back to the original spot I had it and did 2 full rotations clockwise and it took up.all that free play in my clutch!! I have a stage 2 clutch. Maybe give this a try, go clockwise instead. Omg so happy now!
What kind of Clutch and motor is this
The concept is the same for any manual transmission vehicle with an aftermarket clutch.
EJ25 with a triple disc clutch.
Is the adjustment not the same for an act twin disc street?
im wondering the same
Adjustment should be the same procedure, but consult with your clutch manufacturer to make sure they don’t have their own procedure.

Don't think that's the slave cylinder though
it is
This is not going help with anything if you have a heavy duty AM clutch…..!!!!
Actually, this is exactly the scenario in which you want to make sure that your clutch is properly adjusted. Aftermarket clutches can put undo stress on the engine's thrust bearing and cause premature wear when not properly adjusted.
Algorithm comment
This is why people go with autos/paddle shifters now this is a bitch to do underneath, looks easy with their video of course but what a crock of crap to go thru.
It’s easy buddy
yeah youy probably just mechanically declined or something
So this doesn’t happen in an automatic? No wonder people stopped buying these money pits junk
