Hi Again . On the 1999 Z3M Coupe is the clutch manual(cable operated) or Hydraulic? I cant find the fluid reservoir unless it is like the Porsche 928 using the same reservoir for both the brakes & the clutch?
Any way my problem is how do i adjust the travel? I need some more freeplay in the clutch pedal !
Answers on a postcard please. Rocket Ron TIA.

Ron,

The clutch is hydraulic and does share the same reservoir as the brake fluid, not sure if you can adjust the clutch pedal travel though.

A popular upgrade which also changes the clutch feel is to change the clutch hose (and fluid) to a stainless steel type.

Yes, changing your clutch hose for a braided one from Earls is a great modification - http://www.earls.co.uk/index.php

You can also get them with the clutch delay valve removed, which makes for a better clutch release action. Finally getting the system bled properly would also help.
