Clutch Travel Issue - 2/16/2008 8:08:11 PM    iBorg   Posts: 1 Joined: 2/16/2008 Status: offline I recently bought a 2005 PT Cruiser Convertible with the 2.4 HO motor and five speed. I love the car but my wife is not thrilled with it. She has a problem fully engaging the clutch. She's a bit over five feet tall. I've read the SRT-4 Neon has a much shorter clutch travel than the PT. Can anyone give me suggestions as to parts from the SRT-4 that I could swap in to shorten the required clutch travel? I think the clutch is adjusted correctly. It has about 3/4 inch free travel. Thanks, Mike Post #: 1

There will be a 8mm bolt that is at the back of the pedal near the firewall that you can adjust the height of the pedal a bit which will help with the travel. _____________________________ E1 Turbo-Maxx Fab 3in O2-PSI CAI-PSI Dog Bones-AEM Wideband -MSD Wires -IPP Coilovers-ED WUSS IC -MPx 3in TB No Cat-55MM DCR TB-MOPAR Stage 2 w Toys-Rev it up Trac B-Apexi TT-Mopar STS-CBD B&C pillars & License plate-Upgraded Sways (in reply to flamingpinhead) Post #: 3
