And reverse is cringeworthy with the amount of force required!! It does get alot better when it warms up though.But yeah, I would prefer the friction point of pedal be further out more and my question is - Is this possible?? I know my previous S15 Silvia had a thread adjuster, but I cannot see one in the xr6tCheers, Josh Edited 11/04/12 05:17 AM by bionic_oosty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79664-bf-xr6t-clutch-adjustable/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanic said he bled everything after replacing new gearbox and clutch fluids.Hmm, not adjustable.. No good!

Paulie2256 Donating Members 7,441 Member For: 16y 5m 18d Gender: Male Location: SE Melbourne Posted 11/04/12 06:30 AM Share Posted 11/04/12 06:30 AM It's on the front RHS of the box. There are about 2 or 3 bolts holding it in. Pull it out and put 12v through it. If it works it should release. If it does next test would be to put the stick in reverse and check for 12v at the connector. It is connected to the reverse light circuit. Freeze, when rolling forward are you able to grind reverse at all, or does it hit a wall?

After normal bleeding procedure I normally undo the cap on the resiovouir and pump the clutch for about 5 to 10 minutes which self bleeds the rest, other people just let te car sit for Half a day with the cap off and it basically does the same job, best of luck! Keep in mind if it hasn't self bled by now something is probably wrong.
