Hello all!

I have a good mechanic, but he is not really familiar with Toyota's. He can detect most of the problems by listening, smelling etc., but he couldn't adjust my clutch pedal the right way. I think he only managed to loosen up the shifter cable by spinning two screws under the pedal.

I just want the clutch to "release" at a lower level, the main reason being that right now the pedal has a loooong way from up to down and the other way around, which is very unpleasant when trying to drive more sporty.

My car is a '95 6gc with 3sge engine, manual transmission, lhd.

One more question: is it possible that my clutch is dying every ~30k km because of a worn-out flywheel? Or could it be the fact that the clutch pedal is set too high? Or could it be just my bad driving skills? :|

Thanks a lot!

Thank you both for the replies, tomorrow I'm going to try adjusting the clutch myself. It seems like an easy job, but it must be done carefully and step by step. I'll reply after my attempt. I'll probably choose the "general", non-6gc-specific way, since it seems more precise to me.

@jcbass7: I'd leave Romania to come to the states too, tomorrow if possible... but I have a wife, a little girl on her way and I've also spent 16 years studying for what I do now, so it would be pretty difficult for me to start over or adapt somewhere else frown.gif
