Can the clutch on a 1999 Mazda Miata be adjusted?

I've notice receintly that the clutch on my car needs to be depressed all the way to the floor before it engages. It hasn't alway been like this. It use to engage before reaching the floor. It works fine otherwise. Is this something that can be adjusted? If so, is it something that can be done by an amateur?Can the clutch on a 1999 Mazda Miata be adjusted?
It is probably the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder. Check the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder, it is probably low. One or the other is probably either leaking, or the fluid is going past the seals back into the reservoir.Can the clutch on a 1999 Mazda Miata be adjusted?
Yes, you should be able to adjust the clutch travel. Look under your dash at the clutch pedal itself. You will see two bolts behind the pedal area. One is a lock nut, the other is the adjustment. Loosen the lock nut and adjust the pedal. Start the car and see how it engages. If it is the travel is too short, move the adjustment nut again until it is satisfactory to the travel you want. When you are happy, tighten the lock nut back. To gauge the clutch pedal distance, start the car and engage a gear....remove the pedal slowly to see where it engages the flywheel and begins to move the vehicle..Can the clutch on a 1999 Mazda Miata be adjusted?
you cant adjust the clutch, the guy above was talking about adjust the pedal but that will only make you can push more the slave down but adjusting the clutch



the only way is changing the clutch for a new one
No. Need to replace clutch cynlinder pretty soon or no changing of gears.
