Thanks to the cheezy plastic clutch pedal there is so much flex that the clutch won't completely disengage unless I force it to the right about an inch as I depress it. Shifting is noisy and difficult.

I have not found any means of adjusting the pedal for more travel. Is this even possible?

Shouldn't that be covered by the warantee? I might be wrong, but I thought you get 2 years.

3 years, 36,000 miles on the 2006.

I requested they look at it each of the four times it's been in for failed brake lights. They seem more interested in brushing it off until the warantee expires.

The nearest competent dealer is an hour away. Thus I am stuck fixing it myself.

FWIW I was able to improve the clutch action by grinding off the bottom of the pedal to get more travel. There was a rib of plastic behind the pedal that hit the firewall before the clutch disengaged. It's a makeshift patch but then the pedal was a makeshift design to begin with.
