Club Triumph

Hi all, would like some advice for my 1977 TR7 FHC with 5 speed box.

The clutch pedal sits far to high compared to the other pedals and is awkward to engage as I have long legs, also the clutch seems to bite high up.

Am I right in thinking that if I fit a shorter master cylinder push rod or modify I can get the pedal to sit lover down. Also if I shorten the push rod on the slave cylinder or put spacers in to distance the slave cylinder from the bell housing, this might help with the clutch biting point.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The clutch biting fairly high up is normal.
But the clutch pedal should sit in line with the other two pedals.
Looks like the fork between pedal and clutch master is to long.

Don't put spacers between slave and rear engine plate, or shorten the push rod.

If its biting at the top of the pedal maybe the clutch is worn. That's the natural progression of the the pedal when the pressure plate moves outwards.

Hope this is not too daft a thought but is the clivis pin the correct type and fitted properly as if not the return spring will pull the pedal back to a high position.

This same problem occurred after I changed the clutch master cylinder. I found that the rod in the aftermarket master was longer than the original Gerling. So I swapped the old rod into the new master and my clutch pedal height was back to normal.
