Ok so I just got and installed my clutch stop. (i live at the end of a culdesac and kept driving in a circle to test). I can feel how short it keeps getting, but I basically backed it all the way out, yes it fell out I unscrewed it so far, and I still could have gone farther? WTH is this normal. So i put it in about 2 threads and tightened the nut. So what does that mean. Is my clutch going bad or wouldnt that mean its pretty good.
if you need to let the clutch pedal out nearly at the top before it grabs then your clutch is very worn. doesn't mean that it's toast but you should prepare to replace it soon before it leaves you stranded.

ok thanks ill start savin. to hopefully get the ltw fly at the same time.
There is going to be some play with the clutch pedal though, all e36 are like that. No e36 I've driven so far grabbed right after it left the floor board. All had atleast 1-2inch play.
even after you add the extra 2 inches of clutch stop, its still supposed to take another inch or two?
No it shouldn't. I've got a loews clutch stop and I left some play in it, but nowhere near as much as you have. Like madhatter said, just be ready to buy a new clutch since it will go out in the near future.Originally Posted by adriver

Does anyone else live in constant fear of thinking the clutch stop is too close to engagement point? I've set mine pretty close, although i still have to let it out a bit before it starts rolling. So basically, is it alright as long as its not rolling when the clutch is in?
not me, I have mine set to pick up about a half inch from the clutch stop. as long as there is zero contact at your set point then you should be ok.Originally Posted by brownsound
