[QUOTE="04sleeper, post: 10731958, member: 34911"] This is completely wrong and is unfortunately what most people believe a firewall adjuster is for. The firewall adjuster lets you adjust the position of the clutch fork from one side. The other side is controled by the pivot ball. The firewall adjuster can help you adjust the Throw Out Bearing position in relation to the pressure plate. The factory clutch quadrant has a spring/pawl adjuster that does this for you automatically with the factory set up. When you change to a different clutch, it can be stiffer and have a different thickness than the the OEM set up. So most buy a firewall adjuster because the clutch may be stiffer and not adjust properly. The factory spring/pawl adjuster is what sets a certain amount of pre-load on the Throw Out Bearing. When you use a firewall adjuster, you have to "Manually" adjust this Pre-Load on the Throw Out Bearing because the aluminum quadrant and firewall djuster does away with the spring/pawl adjuster. This is all the firewall adjuster is for. If you tighten the adjuster too much, it is like pushing in the clutch more. (Like riding the clutch) And the clutch is not going to hold because it is partially pushed in. This will lead to a slipping clutch and a worn out clutch really fast! The only way to change where the pedal releases is to change the height of the pivot ball. If you want the pedal to release more towards the floor, then you need to "Shorten" the pivot ball. If you want it to release higher off the floor, then you need to "Lengthen" the pivot ball. That or install Maximum Motorsports Clutch Pedal Height Adjuster.

(Just like the factory) Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
