The engagement point is now about 3/4 of the way up the pedal movement! It engages about the same height as my stock clutch used to. The original 2600 grabbed right off the floor but for some reason this one is up high? It almost feels like the clutch is heavier than the last one too, but it could just be my leg is out of practice. The shop said all they did was resurface the flywheel to 0.613" and install the clutch, everything else was the way it was before. Why would the engagement point change so remarkably? ------------------ 1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD BOOSTN on the flatlands BOOSTN since 1998

They didn't do anything with the restrictor, did they? Either that or they adjusted it for you. My 2100 engages right off the floor, and without the restrictor in, the whole pedal travel is utilized.
