How To Do A Clutch Pedal Adjustment On A 2022-2024 GR86 And BRZ

[@ShayHarambe]

A few days later I took it from 5 turns back down to only 3 turns. Yall can try 5 but it was basically on the fire wall. Little to much 😅

[@vpr0]

Full 360 turns or 180 turns?

[@ShayHarambe]

@@vpr0 360 turns

[@vpr0]

@@ShayHarambe I did 3 full turns today. Better now, but I'm wondering if it's expected that I didn't have to adjust the sensor. It still fully compresses, 3 turns didn't pull the pedal far enough

[@ShayHarambe]

@@vpr0 maybe yea I’m not sure. I had to adjust it when I went 5 turns. 3 turns you may have been good.

[@migueltaylor2264]

Man I did 5 half turns and thought I over did it, can’t imagine how short 5 full would of been.

[@syrsz]

Thank god someone addressed this, I thought I was loosing my mind the first week driving the gr86

[@ShayHarambe]

😂😂😂 this was very much needed

[@justin8708]

You don't have to take the pin out and spin the bracket. You can leave all that intact and just loosen the nut and spin the shaft accordingly and obviously retighten afterwards. I've done this on my 2017 right away when I bought the car at about 100 miles on the odo. When I got my 2023, which was in late 2022, I totally forgot about this adjustment and I drove it untill 7500 miles without adjusting it. I just adjusted it like last week actually. On my 2017, I also took out the helper spring. On my 2023, I don't really feel the need to do that yet.

Thanks for figuring this out and sharing! I just did this adjustment, and have some tips to add for anyone trying this: pliers work well for pulling the U-shape pin out so it doesn’t go flying. When you put it back, make sure you put the straight side through the hole in the rod, not wrapped around the very end with the white plastic ears. Also, a screwdriver works well to pry the metal rod loose while you pinch the white ears with your fingers. Lastly, the nut holding the spin-able bracket in place was stuck hard. I had to hold the bracket with an adjustable wrench while using the 12mm to break the nut free. We’ll see if it was worth all the back pain tomorrow!

[@jg726]

You do not need to remove the pin. You just need to loosen the nut then push the clutch in slightly and you can easily rotate the rod bolt. (I found that 1¾ turns was good. I used a sharpie to mark it) Once you found the position you want then just tighten it up. This will allow for you to dial it in better.

[@ilyamuromec2867]

Just did it? With 3 full turns didn’t have to adjust the sensor nut Also changed to softer spring that was a lot harder than the pedal adjustment So much easier to drive day and night Very happy

[@sl0907]

Thank you for this. Im 20k miles in, although I got used to the stock pedal travel I never liked it. I did 4 turns and the car feels far less clunky to drive. Rev matching also a lot easier now.

[@jun5523]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I got my 24 gr86 couple days ago, and I didn't really liked how the clutch is too deep and bites at the end point. I did 5 turn first, but for me the bite point was too close, and I ended up with 3 turn. And didn't need to adjust the sensor nut. It was pain in the ass work on it but wow man, it feels like another car and it is perfect. Thank you again bro!👍

[@ShayHarambe]

Of course! Glad I could help.

[@wudahu1979]

Thank you so much! I will do the same when my headlamp arrived. And I will replace the OEM clutch spring to a soft one I bought from a spring factory directly.

[@SL1PPY_SH4RK_]

It goes from biting immediately to lighting near the top so quick too.

[@rustysweatshirt2903]

I drove stick through 3 cars went automatic for a few years and I thought I lost the sauce I was like this clutch pedal has me using my whole leg and this is exactly what I need to do

[@cfunck]

Just did this. WOW! Thanks. Feels like a completely different car going into 1st and 2nd, and on down shift rev matching.

[@harris7963]

I thought I was crazy to think the clutch was awkward. Engagement point is way too high. I’m going to try this.

[@ShayHarambe]

Wayyyy too high!

[@HewlettPackardSteam]

I did this to mine, what a different feel! Wow! Thank you man!

[@ShayHarambe]

Of course! ☺️

[@ilyamuromec2867]

Good job figuring it out!

[@ShayHarambe]

Thank you 🙏

[@JeanMichelFages]

Hi, congrats for this very useful video. I have a white 2024 GR86 and I find that the gear shift isn't smooth at all, especially 1st and 2nd. Did you experienced the same feeling about it please? Thanks, JM

[@ShayHarambe]

At times yeah but not very often

[@Jason-en9lv]

Very well explained, I just turned the stick two turns in. However, during the test drive I found that each gear was harder to shift into (more mechanical sounds) Is this normal?

[@ShayHarambe]

Interesting 🤔

[@jaron95]

I burnt the shit out of my clutch last night because I had running shoes on with thicker soles instead of my regular Vans. I need to do this adjustment! 🤣

[@ShayHarambe]

That’s the exact reason I had to do this. I wear boots everyday to work but then I wear vans everyday for normal outfits. Adjusting between the two was horrible.

[@ez8308]

Thanks! Going to try this

[@ShayHarambe]

It’s the best thing you could to your manual.

[@ez8308]

@@ShayHarambe I’m going to remove the spring this weekend and try it out. I really need to get a pedal raiser because it’s too low for heel toe, had the same issue on my brz and that helped a ton

[@chrisginoc]

When is the big turbo going in the GR86?

[@ShayHarambe]

Swap the 6466 out of the Supra into the 86 and go bigger on the Supra? 👀🤔🤭

[@randoll86]

oh man this is awesome!! maybe you can start the car without stepping on the clutch if you don't adjust the sensor?

[@ShayHarambe]

Ohhh that’s a good point. I didn’t even try it. 🤔

[@vpr0]

This would most likely not allow you to use cruise control

[@entropy11]

Welp guess I'm doing this next.

[@al3x14]

This is very true I drive my Honda manual and it’s perfect but when I drive my brz it’s so fucking different it drives me crazy… I thought it was just me… I’d like to try this is this difficult lol?

[@ShayHarambe]

No super easy. Took 10 mins while filming.

[@al3x14]

@@ShayHarambe cool Ty bro, should I turn 3 times? Also does the pin need to come out?

[@ShayHarambe]

@ just do 2 or 3 turns. 5 ended up being way to much

[@fidrat24]

Is this just a GR86 problem? I have a 23 BRZ and my clutch is sublime! As well as my shifter and gas pedal.

[@ShayHarambe]

I don’t know. Never drove a BRZ.

[@chelzhi]

I also have a 2023 BRZ LIMITED, I have the same issue like him the bite point was awkward, and too high.

[@rekt4guud134]

Feels are subjective but... you should want the bite point as high as possible. Sounds more like you developed the bad habbit of flooring the clutch instead of pushing it just enough for it to disengage.

[@ShayHarambe]

Okay

[@brettbaskes892]

Crack the nut loose. Turn the rod. No need to remove the pic and pull it out and turn it. Absolutely no accuracy doing it this way. You turn the rod, not remove the buckle part and turn it. Doing it your way you’re only able to do whole or half turns. No fine adjustment.

[@jinomojica3827]

Won’t this wear out the clutch faster?

[@ShayHarambe]

From the reading I’ve done no. However if it is to close as in touching the flywheel it can wear away some of the pads. Is it true? Idk 🤷‍♂️

[@jinomojica3827]

Im doing it right now. How did you take out the white ear?? Should I pull it up?

[@joshualauful]

not sure is it a RHD issue or not. There's no space for me adjust the bracket. Anyone know whats the solution?

[@ShayHarambe]

Wow I wonder why that is.

[@joshualauful]

The arm of the clutch paddel just blocks the bracket from moving 🥲

[@NaNa-cu9oz]

thank !

Your welcome 🙏

[@joeferry3558]

Can anyone confirm this for a 2018 wrx????

[@ShayHarambe]

Why not look under your dash and verify? 🤔

[@joeferry3558]

@@ShayHarambe Never once has this been an issue in my car in over 92K miles, I got 58k on my oem clutch. 32k on an s2 clutch, now only 5k out of my last clutch. My mechanic installed both, & they were the ones to deliver the bad news on the current clutch. I asked them about pedal adjustments on hydraulic clutches and he couldn't help me. So once I get it back I'll def be under it. I STILL HAVE YET TO SEE ANY 2015+WRX Video/form/ link regarding this. The only info related to this situation is for 86/brz/frs. Hence why I'm looking for confirmation from other WRX owners.

[@ShayHarambe]

Hmmm that is odd. Unfortunately I doubt WRX owners are gonna watch something on a GR86 but best of luck.

[@hongchan1202]

I am fine where it is at stock engagement.

[@ShayHarambe]

Okay

[@ilyamuromec2867]

BRZ engineers from Subaru had their thumb up their ass instead of making the car more engaging. Very disappointing Subaru that the owners have to fix these issues.😠

[@ShayHarambe]

I do agree.

[@WOMPCRASH]

I don’t get this. It’s weird like every manual car. They are all different. It was designed to bite at the point I don’t see why change it. Instead learn how to drive the car smoothly the way it was built. That’s what I did and I love it

[@ShayHarambe]

Your a Karen

[@joekagerer]

I'm sorry, it was DESIGNED to be ADJUSTABLE. Hence the ability to adjust the clutch and the sensor is your preference. Did you move your driver's seat or did you leave it in the factory position?
