oh and welcome
Clutch too high up
I don't like the cluth position either. I drove a 2SS here in San Diego when Chev had a dozen or so letting people drive them. The clutch at that time was real high (engages near the steering wheel as oppose to nearer the floor). Everyone was stalling this car and I thought it was mis adjusted. when I bought my 2SS it was the same way. I still stall it once every two days or so. I have driven lots of sticks over the years and really like the engagement closer to the floor. I have tried to order the shop manual but they are on back order. I am about to get under the cat but I don't even feel good about where to put the jack stands. Anybody know how to adjust the clutch or where to put the jack stands?
thanks,
Ted

I believe that the M6 clutch has a hydraulic throw-out bearing. That eliminates a need for an actuator arm. Also most hydraulic clutches have no adjustment other then the clutch rod freeplay. Our cars don't seem to have any adjustments, I just checked. Most cars need 3-5 MM freeplay to prevent clutch from dragging. I have a little slack in the actuator rod pivot, other than that the master moves immediately when I move the pedal.
My clutch grabs very low, the opposite of what you guys are saying.
And I still stall it a couple of times a week. I think I got it now finally!

There is no adjustment on hydraulic clutch actuators.

Found out how to adjust clutch!
This procedure is for the G8 clutch master R&R.
turns out the master has slotted holes to allow for pedal height adjustment.
I'm sure this is the same for us, but I will have shop manuals in hand tomorrow AM to verify.

Did you find out if there is a similar clutch adjustment?

Sorry, no clutch pedal height adjustment for us. If the pedal is low you should suspect air in the system first, or damage to the throwout bearing or pressure plate.
