Hmm, I'm not sure. I've given it more thought. Now I'm just talking from theory and what I know. The difference in thickness of a worn clutch and a new clutch is small. So, I don't think that would affect the level of the pedal appreciably. I'm sitting here thinking... it's hard trying to think about it. Ok, I've gone over it in my head and I think that, yes, over time the clutch may rise very little. My thinking is this: thinner pad will cause metal prongs to extend outward more pushing the clutch fork out, tightening the clutch cable, and then pulling the pedal up. That makes me wonder if loosening the cable on my mom's 240 would allow the clutch to engage better... hmm.

Anyway, yes I do have the rubber piece to isolate vibration. On your tranny do you have a rubber block to dampen vibration? My old tranny that went bad had it, but not the new (older model 80 240) tranny i put in. The newer cars, and at least my 86 740 had this rubber block. It looks like we are kinda in the same boat with the older 240 tranny's in our newer cars.

It sounds like you need to tighten the clutch cable, as that would raise the pedal and tighten things up.

When you said your girlfriend's car is much better, does she have a hydralic clutch? How difficult/expensive is converting to hydraulic from what you've researched?
