    Stock clutch in the MX-6 should be very easy to press down, with a long but progressive travel. You've got weirdness on your hands with that.

    I've got long travel, and about a half inch to an inch engagement point that will throw the foot off the pedal of those not expecting it.

    I mean, if it IS aftermarket, it might explain how it still grabs like crazy after about 20k miles of this basic setup being on the car.

    In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac:

    The stock clutches in these cars don't die, at least at stock or near-stock power levels. I'm sure you've heard the stories about 200k miles on a turbo 626 or MX-6 with the original clutch. The stock clutch in my 626 had excellent characteristics at 100k miles and I wasn't easy on the car.
