High Clutch Engagement After Clutch Replacement
Since getting the car earlier this year, I've always thought that the clutch engagement was high on the pedal. I just had my clutch replaced along with addressing the symptoms of the rusty spline. Clutch pedal is as smooth as butter but engagement point is still the same. Is it possible to lower the bite point by making adjustments to the pedal orientation?

I forgot to mention that the slave cylinder and accompanying hose was replaced and the clutch system was bled. Pedal roll pin and bushings are in good working order.

Glad to hear. Those are easy fixes. How long has it been like this? Is this a new symptom or has it always been this way? The reason I'm asking is I had a problem for a long time and finally found the fault. It was the clutch pedal itself. See this thread

Just curious. I'm fairly tall at 6'2" so I'm sure that impacts my comfort with the pedal dynamics. When releasing the clutch, I try to keep my heel planted and use the pivot of my ankle. This doesn't work so well coming out of first because my ankle just can't pivot back enough to fully release the clutch. So I have to resort to pivoting my ankle back for the first portion of the release and lifting my leg for the remaining portion. I just can't shift smoothly or quickly with this technique. What technique are people using?

I moved my seat mounting back and pedal operation is immensely more comfortable. Takes less than 30 minutes to do. Careful with the seat bolts as they are fairly soft--a ball-end socket is a sure fire route to heartache.
