Hi
I had a new clutch fitted today on my MK3 Golf GTi. The clutch had started slipping and the pedal itself was high. The new clutch feels great but the pedal still sits about an inch above the other pedals. Can I manually adjust this? If so how?

Many thanks in advance

Hello mate yes you can adjust it, if you look ontop of the gear box you will see a fork where your clutch cable is conected too, at the end of the cable you will see 2 nuts one is a 13mm and the one infront is about 8mm i think undo the small on then wind the 13mm one and you will notice that your clutch pedal should be the same height as the brake, when you have done this screw the small nut to lock the big nut(if that makes sence) smile
If this does not work the problem will be with your pedal box where the clutch bracket is shearing off, This is very common on most MK 2 3 4 golfs, polos etc.
Has your clutch pedal started to sqeek? if so it is a sure sign.
All the best Marc.

Hi Marc
Many thanks for your advice.

I will have a look at what you said tomorrow. There is no squeaking from the clutch at all; its just a high pedal. New clutch is lovely and light and all feels good apart from pedal height

Many thanks
