I've a '99 BJ and was wondering if there is any way to adjust the action on the clutch, currently it feels very long and i want to know if i can shorten it for faster gear changing ^^

I just did but now my clutching is slowing me down, or at least i like to think so hehe


any idea how to shorten the action?

I stuck my head up under the dash but couldn't see much other than the free play adjustment

there is none, if would wanna decrease locking time, hence less pedal work, you'll need and stronger/heavier clutch.
