Miata Clutch Adjustment and The Zen of the Sweet Spot 

All hail the 👑 King of Miatas. What a great guy to put out these videos. Simple, concise, and made so we all may have our best experience possible in the funnest car on the road since 1989. ❤️👑

I had too much play at the top of the clutch pedal. I watched the first 5 minutes if this video and went out to the garage and adjusted my clutch. It took 2 minutes to do. Thanks for the video, simple and easy to do.

I actually went back and did this. For years I lived with the clutch catching at the top. I changed my clutch out for a learning experience and thought they all caught like that, but this change made my day and increased my love even more for driving manual.

I just bought one and i was want I ng to learn about this topic...thanks so much miata master

Fantastic presentation, much easier to see versus cramped in car footage! Concise, informative and entertaining; thank you ⭐️

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was self diagnosing my issue for over a month and between a new trans (200+) new fluid (60+) all my issues were fixed with adjusting the rod and switch. I had a damn hard time going into pretty much every gear after putting a FM clutch in and could feel the clutch wasn't fully letting go of the trans. The one clue that gave it away was on a flat surface the car would creep even with the clutch all the way in. Feels like a new car again!

You're doing the god's work here. Thank you

Your video is awesome

I've adjusted the clutch, just as you've said. The sweet spot is in the middle. I've adjusted the safety switch all the way in. I have way too much freeplay. Is my clutch wearing down? It shifts just fine. Thank you Miata King.

what to do if a clutch- changes height with the temperature? when the car is cold, it catches in the middle, after driving for more than an hour it catches high.

Please help. 2006 mx5 5 speed just put OEM flywheel and oriellys clutch in. I think my problem was an input shaft bearing. But when I start my car or hit a bump just right it sounds awful. A rough bumping noise is heard.

I have a problem with mine is there a reason why my Miata will start fine when I press on the clutch but will die as soon as I fully release the clutch pedal or when I put in any gear?

so today i went to start my car and everything was fine( it was in neutral) then i put it in first and start releasing the clutch and stalls, so i start it back up and i can’t put it in any gear any idea what that could be? it’s a 94 btw

My slave cylinder piston keeps popping out while installed. It seems like it travels too far out and gets stuck then leaks. I replaced the slave cylinder and went for a test drive, it seemed to work fine but it got stuck again when I got home. Any ideas?

Sometimes when I have the ac on and the car is sitting in neutral for some time the pedal gets very firm and difficult to press, why?

Where is the video on clutch bleeding?

I wish you talked either louder, or better, use a better mike. I had to turn up the volume way, way up! Then when the ads kick in, my ears lose their sweet spot.
