I can't get used to the '03 clutch. Is there a simple way to adjust the clutch so that it engages/disengages closer to the top, not the floor?
Thanks,

I think he wants more slack, not less.Originally posted by harry gilbert
With the car OFF, put it in first gear. Reach down and with your hands, pull UP on the clutch pedal. You may or may not hear a click. With your foor press the clutch down to the floor. You have just exercised the clutch cable adjuster and taken out the clutch cable slack. This works much like an auto brake cable adjuster.

Well...now I'm confused...
What I would like is to not have to push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to get it to disengage, allowing a gear shift. Oftentimes, if I'm not VERY careful, I don't quite get the clutch pushed in all the way, and I miss a shift. Really embarrasing! Seems like if it's only one half inch from dead bottom against the floor, it still won't go into gear. Same problem from neutral to first, neutral to reverse, as well as in normal shifting. There's a whole lotta clutch travel there before it disengages. Does that mean I want more "slack", or less???
Later,

Tried Harry's fix...life is good. Clutch works fine.

It seems to be a characteristic of the '03 clutch to have a fair amount of travel from partial to full engagement.

Not on my car! I've never encountered a clutch that goes from fully disengaged to fully engaged in such a short range of movement!
So what is normal for the '03, very little travel, like mine, or lots of travel like Mr. Gilbert's?
