Default Help tighten my "mushy" clutch?

I hate how mushy my clutch pedal feels when I shift. I've been looking for any way to tighten and/or shorten the travel.

Anyone know if this will do the job?

Many Thanks!

Hmmm, that might help a little, but you could always install one of these, it will definately make things tighter:






Just kidding, of course! I couldn't resist, sorry.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. http://www.clutchmasters.com/shop/?page=shop/index now has 3 different clutch offerings for the Xa/Xb and in another 2-3 weeks they'll be offering an 8.75lb aluminum flywheel!

The clutch line is cable. Not hydro so that will not work.

It's definately not a cable clutch, it's hydraulic.

I have the Cable from Ebay and The Exedy Clutch off ebay all together cost me 175 and the Exedy i had on my honda that was FI worked like a charm. And so has this one for the Xb i feel like i am getting more power to the ground but it might just be the firm feel of the clutch now. hope this helps

It's definately not a cable clutch, it's hydraulic.
Please tell me where the MC is for the hydraulic clutch so I can know where to add fluid/bleed/flush it when necessary.
