Yes, turning that rod adjusts the engagement point of the clutch

That's nice to know.... Do you know if it's only Integra's or if most cars can do that? And can you adjust the "length" of the engagement, or only the engagement point?

Any car with a hydraulic clutch pretty much. The master cylinder rod is threaded on the end that connects to the pedal for that reason. It only adjusts the engagement point though. The actual distance from full engage to disengage is dependent upon the clutch itself and cannot be adjusted......unless you have a DSM lol.

DSM's have a restrictor in the clutch line that only allows fluid to move so fast in order to make the clutch easy to drive for everyone and their grandmother. Remove that restrictor though and it's a fairly instant engagement, even on a stock clutch

is there a diy on setting the clutch engagments?

 

[01lsturbo]

okay i adjusted the engagment point but the pedal still goes all the way down before i can get it in gear is there something else i have to do??

 

[jdmjim]

Also check the master cylinder and slave cylinder for leaks
