When my clutch got installed, the pedal was extremly light, but it got better after about 3-5 days of use.

Grab a buddy and bleed it a few times. Quick and painless, you will know if that's the problem in 5 minutes.

My clutch pedal was so touchy after I had the clutch replaced. The slightest amount of pressure on the clutch pedal would cause the clutch to engage. Our cars allow you to adjust the clutch pedal engagement distance. Slide under your dash so you can look above your clutch pedal and you will see the adjustment nuts. Play around with it until you are happy with it.



For instructions log into hmaservice.com and search for CLUTCH PEDAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT.
