Stock clutch pedal engagement questions - where's yours?

[r39o]

Where does your clutch engage on you STOCK Vanagon clutch?

How far down before it engages?

How much travel from the beginning of clutch engagement to fully engaged?

I am having a pedal problem and want to find out how a normal clutch pedal reacts and works.

How does it "feel?"

THANKS!

I have about an 1 1/2" and I think this is a lot, but still works great, got under there once and said oh my god how do you adj this. Read a post about adj this, can't understand it oh well. Why did they put all this linkage in a place you can't get your hand in. Thanks VW! once it hits resistance it's smooth all the way down. Have about 1 " at the bottom before it grabs. If I take out the floor mats will have about 1 1/2" at the bottom. There was a tab on the bottom of my clutch pedal, stuck out about a 1/2" , ground it off, got about 1/2" more travel. Did not see a real need for it!

My friend measured his for me.

About 7 inches of total stroke.

Engagement about 2.5 inches from the floor

Totally engaged by about 3 inches or so off the floor.

About a 1/2 inch or free play at the top of the pedal.

All the engagement travel is in the last couple of inches. Further down, closer to the floor, no change. This is on a '90 Westy with a GW 2.2L WBX and GW transaxle. FWIW, according to Bentley, there's no adjustment for clutch travel (I'd like things to happen closer to the floor, like our other two cars).
