clutch peddle

[swamper]

is there anyway to adjust the height of the clutch peddle as its slightly higher than the other 2 peddles?
just to add there's nothing wrong with the biting point its just the height...ta :ymblushing:

Hi
This was a problem i had when i got the car going from a 1.9 to an ///M
The dealer said the pedal was higher due to the weight of the clutch,
more pressure needed on pedal, i didnt know if this was a load of ball
They changed the clutch pedal complete, they said that Bmw was aware
and had made an alternative uprated pedal.
This did help alot, like you, i felt the pedal should roughly level with brake
I also complained there was no room to rest your foot,
they commented its a drivers car you dont rest your foot?
I have since been informed its the width of the ///M gearbox,
due to lack of foot resting space, i'm ok with it now

hmm ok so theres no adjustment then....just an unrated peddle...any ideas where one of the said items may be purchased?

btw cheers Ray

ask at the dealers and say you know somebody who had on replaced
you never know your luck

It was about twelve years ago i had it done
i bet the bloke was still at school then

 

[swamper]

we may have found a solution to this little problem ....rather than lower the clutch...im going to raise the brake instead
we'll see.........its not urgent...may just be a case of getting used to it....but i do find it odd

Going from the accerator to a higher
brake pedal is that a good idea :-s

 

[swamper]

doing the accelerator as well....sorry forgot to add that bit.
if you remove the rubber cover from the clutch pedal and fit a metal cover.... then fit the metal covers to the other 2 pedal but leave the rubber covers on them it will lower the height of the clutch pedal in relation to the other 2 pedals....(or raise the height of the of the brake and accelerator) depending on how you want to look at it.
all in all they should line up better

Should have bought an auto......... :-^

 

[swamper]

i'd have still found something to alter )

anyway....have you ever taken your hard top off to see if you do have a soft top under there :ympray:

 

[hard top]

Nope, but I can see it through the rear window of the hard top.......
