Adjusting clutch engagement? Or slave cylinder/Master wont shift when on
Hi guys,
I just installed a Clutch masters stage 1 in my car
currently the issue is it wont shift in any gear when on.
Seems like the clutch is not fully disengaging. I can feel the car jerk a little forward while starting
I have a feeling its the clutch not fully disengaging.
Does some one have a diagram of the steps need to adjust the pedal?
I see the rod connected to the MC which is where i assume it is to be adjusted.
But does it go in more or out? the clutch pedal travel will the same so will it actually even help?
The neutral safety switch is still in the way of the rod and so is clutch switch
any input would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Get the service manual, it explains all about adjusting the clutch and how much play you should have. Just make sure you have 1-5mm of initial rod play on the pedal, then another half inch of play after that before you start feeling resistance from the pressure plate.
Adjusting the clutch is a balance of pedal height, engagement point and pedal play. If you don't have enough play, raise the pedal. Adjusting the rod will move your engagement point, while adjusting the pedal will move your max range.
After all the adjustments and you feel that you're set on adjustments, do a real engagement test by lifting the rear wheels on jack stands then slowly release the clutch until the wheels start spinning. (BE CAREFUL PUT SOME STOPS ON THE FRONT WHEELS) That's your true engagement point. If you're pressing the pedal all the way in and the wheels are spinning, raise the pedal and turn the rod pedal anti-clockwise.
I know all this sounds confusing but get the service manual and see how it's done.
