????? for 08/09 owners...........

[99 R/T 10]

My clutch releases high up on the clutch travel. Where my 99 releases about halfway up, my 08 is about 3/4s of the way. Is this normal? my car has 599 miles, so I don't think it has worn out . TIA,

 

[VIPER 93]

Mine engages at about 1/4 on the way up

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

My 99 GTS engaged almost right away where my 09 does not engage til pedal is let out approx. 1/4 travel.

No racing yet Robert. Maybe in a monnth or so

 

[Mopar Boy]

I know! You have not even broken it in yet. But I can bet you can hardly wait.

Good luck and sorry for the highjack.

Bleed the clutch and see if that helps.

 

[Viper X]

My 01 engages about 1/2 way up like your 99.

My 09 engages about 2/3 of the way up, maybe 3/4 like your 08.

Seems OK to me.

Mine is @ 2/3 up or so...08 ACR.

I have driven five different 08s (spirited) and they all have that really weird clutch feel. Sometimes I think I am going to burn the clutch up it has so much travel.

 

[99 R/T 10]

Thanks for the input guys. I think it's OK. It just seemed higher than my 99. Probably closer to 2/3ds the way up like Viper X and CCBrian.

mine was the exact same as yours 99 untill i was going to do a lil burn out for my buddy that swore up and down that vipers were slow (he has since change his mind) but instead of breaking the tires loose i burnt the clutch or smoked it and after that it had a quicker release??? i don't know why i thought it was messed up because it got harder and quicker and felt like a real clutch not some butter lol. hope that helps

mine engages about 1/2 way up and then has a very light spring action so it almost bounces when you go over bumps (have not have a chance to get it to the dealer to look at it).

I wonder if the clutch pedal variance has anything to do with the new dual-plate clutch system. It seems like different cars behave considerably differently from what people are saying here - anywhere from 1/4 pedal travel to 3/4 pedal. Personally, I like the clutch to start grabbing right around the 1/4 pedal travel point.
