I want to adjust my clutch engagement point, how to ?

I just put a new pressure plate / throwout in my car. The clutch used to engage right away, now I let the peddle all the way out to engage it. I bleed the clutch system correctly

What can I do to adjust this point ?

S2 RX7, S5 T2 Trans, S5 T2 Clutch master/slave, ACT Stage 3 pressure plate, ACT 6 puck, ACT 9lb fly

Help...Thanks.

Under the dash you will find a rod that goes from the clutch pedal to the clutch mawter. Loosen the nut on the rod and screw the rod until you get the engagenemt point you want, then retighten the nut.

Yep, had to do the same thing myself after installing a high performance clutch. Much better afterward.

Did it on mine after the clutch master and slave rebuilds. It engages a little up from the floor, which feels ok. I don't like it to engage at the top like the REPU was doing on the worn out disc.
