911 Clutch Adjustment/ Pedal Assembly

[GotaT]

I have a 71 911 and a later style 915 Trans with a 2.4. I have found a picture of the style of trans and cable my car has for clarification.

I find that my Clutch pedal throw from top to bottom is far (about 6inches), and the Actual amount of clutch Engagement and Disengagement is only about 1.5 inches. The clutch is working properly as far as engaging/disengaging is concerned but the engagement/disengagement is Very Close to the Top of the Clutch pedal throw. I have read there should be about 1 inch of Free Pedal Play from the top of the pedal and can be achieved by the Adjustment on the Trans side. When I allow for about 1 inch of free play the Pedal is really only just "resting" lower in its travel range and does NOT actuall stay Fully Up - even with the Brake pedal.

Please clarify what needs to be done to keep the Pedal at the Top (even with the brake pedal) and the Range engagement/disengagement in the Right location of the range.

..... Also, .. IS there a Way to have both the Clutch and Brake pedal Closer to the Floor all the Time? --- Making them closer to even with the Accelerator Pedal...



All this being said.. Is there a complete Upgrade package for all Pedals... ????

Your 1" of free play usually requires you to pull back on the clutch pedal, then move it forward to the pressure point. Your total movement, from your "stop" in seat direction, to your "stop" in forward direction, should equal about 1". It's also important to be sure that your pedal stop adjustment is correct so that you can't push the pedal too far. I'll defer to others who may have fiddled with pedal height, I've always found the 911 pedal arrangement to be perfect!

Thanks. Clarify for me the the inch of Freeplay. This free play is only Realized if you were to Pull the Pedal Toward you. In other words. The pedal will not stay Closest to the driver seat any time because by making the 1 inch of free play relaxes the pedal 1 inch from the Fully "up" position. Right?

One more question. What or where is the Clutch Pedal Stop? Mine goes to the floor/ metal
