Bought today, Clutch too late already!

ChrisSlicks

How many miles are on this car? Usually the clutch take up on these cars will start very close to the firewall when new, and as it wears in will come up.

Yes, the clutch is adjustable but it isn't any easy adjustment. The adjustment is made by changing the length of the push rod connected to the clutch pedal, the specifics are in chapter CL of the repair manual. Given that the clutch should have been factory set correctly I would be a little curious why it is so high.

Thanks. The car has just 7 miles on it. As for the service manual, I DL'd a 12MB file 370Z_Service_Manual.7z but my peazip utility claims "archive unreadable- try password?".
Never saw that before. Yes it's difficult but I've done it before on a 350z some years back using the G35 thread at http://www.freshalloy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73620.

It wasn't a fun project -I was upside down with my head stuck under the dash for a couple hours!

I hope the CL chapter is easier to do, but how to open that .7z archive??

Try using 7zip or WinRar, had no problem here. If problem persists try downloading again as the file might have got truncated.

Let me google that for you

That's a bit harsh considering that Peazip is supposed to support the .7z (7-zip) format files.

if i don't know i just google it, don't u? i get an answer a lot faster than posting a question on a message board

I did google Peazip and saw that it supports .7z so in theory it should have worked for him. More than likely the download got truncated and needs to be downloaded again.
