Clutch pedal travel.

[Alex1380]

Been driving my Porsche 944 but I find the clutch pedal travels way to far down compared to the other pedals meaning I need the seat to far forward that I would other wise have it.
Is there a way to shorten the travel of a clutch pedal with a hydraulic clutch?

A bigger bore master cylinder will give you a shorter travel. Otherwise, you could try modifying the linkage to give a different ratio. I've driven a friend's 944 once and found the whole experience to be less than sporting. A shorter clutch would probably help, but I found the gearshift to be pretty long and loose as well.

Oh, but while I think about it, you might need to have your seat in a position to reach the floor with the pedals, in case you need to push the brakes all the way down. In normal driving you won't ever push the brake pedal down to the floor, but you never know when some kind of emergency situation may require you to do so. Brake fade or losing fluid from one circuit of the brakes would be the most likely scenarios.

it proberbly needs bleeding if its very low,.

Indeedy, Slave cylinders can die on them, but they are not always the easiest of cars to bleed either on the clutch front. Clark's Garage website does list one procedure to try.

But yes, in my S2 I found the clutch a little long (on a new clutch mine used to bite around the middle), and the shift long and vague too (the latter was cured by going to a 968 lever setup (but generally a new lever will help matters).
