Afternoon all,
I've recently acquired my dad's 1996 Subaru Impeza EJ16. He's had the car since new and I remember even when driving it back in the day, the clutch was difficult as it was quite light in feel. At that time I thought it may have been due to the vehicle having dual controls - driving school car. However we've recently removed the dual controls and the clutch pedal feel is still unpleasant and light.
For example when taking off through friction point, the pedal feels as though it slightly sticks/tightens right before friction point so as you take a bit of pressure off the pedal it then lightly jumps into friction point. I'm an experienced driver however have already done a hill-start chirp.
The clutch is in good condition. To increase pedal feel, is there a heavier duty torsion spring to upgrade in the clutch pedal assembly? Or would adding a firmer spring on the clutch fork return, add any kind of firmer feel to the pedal instead of it being so light?
FYI it's the cable clutch, not the hydraulic setup.
Cheers.
