    Hello, is there an adjustment or fix or reduce how far you have to push clutch pedal in at startup? I feel like I'm going to push the clutch through the floor. I do use the override but I'm guessing there is a adjustment somewhere. Thanks

    Here is the sensor to adjust. its probably super tight to get back there to adjust.
    One time on a trip I had problems with the other sensor that detects if the pedal is all the way out. Cruise control wouldn't work because the sensor wasn't engaging. I ended up supergluing a washer to the pedal to act as a shim just enough to let me use cruise control for the remainder of the trip.

    I just stuck a felt furniture foot pad to the black bumper circled in blue. Easy 1/4" adjustment that took 10 seconds and no tools. :muscleflexing:
