Default Anyone have the 2005 Z Clutch Adjusted

I've got a 05 ZR and I was wondering if the clutch is adjustable. The friction point seems to be too high, at least for me anyway.

Has anyone either adjusted this or had a dealer adjust it?

Thanks,

The pedal can be adjusted, but the lower you go, and your cruise control wont work. Also i found that the pedal feel was odd, and didnt pop back up properly after releasing the clutch fully.

I had the same thing happen--4 turns and the clutch was sticking after releasing it so it wouldn't pop all the way back up.

This doesn't make the clutch catch closer to the floor, it just removes/reduces the dead play in the pedal at the top of its motion.

Unfortunately, there is no good way to fix the clutch engagement in the Z/G. The high/slow clutch engagement probably costs us 1-2 tenths in the 1/4 mile.
