urs is cable...so you -may- be able to adjust on the fork end.

why are you looking to adjust it? If it is because it is slipping then you might be out of luck. The cable adjustment is only there to compensate for the cable stretching over time.

I dont know how many k's your rx has done but they a mates clutch did not last 90'ks. He is an older guy and drove like a nana too so no stupid launches.

Oh dear... my WRX has 150k and still on original clutch. I think your
mate was moonlighting as a drag racer.

i adjusted it abit it has reduced the slipping enough to mak it driveable until i save enough for a new clutch, mines got 134000 and this is the original clutch, so i'm not doing to bad, has anyone had experience with balcatta brake and clutch, they have quoted cheapest so far at $575 including flywheel machining for a daiken(exedy) clutch kit, as opposed to subaru's quote of $1200 and auto brake services quote of $850

My RX clutch wore out after 100k.
AutoClutch Os Pk gave the best price, did fast work, but after a year it still judders, not bad enuf to insist they redo but it makes heavy traffic driving a chore.
