Crawl under the dash, take a 10 and 12 mm wrench with you, loosen the lock nut, turn shaft, tighten nut.

lay on your back on the seat and put your head down under the dash, you'll see the two bolts you have to adjust, one is right on top of the other and they are on the pedal assembly. The haynes manual has a good description with a picture.

If you make it too low, you'll grind when you try to put it in reverse. In my opinion, the worst thing about RX-7's is the pedal/seats/steering wheel postion. You just can't adjust them so they all are comfortable.

Yep, loosen the lock nut and spin the pushrod that goes to the master.
