With the hydraulic clutch, is there any way to adjust the point where the clutch starts engaging?
Lately mine's been engaging just before the end of the travel - it seems like the pedal hits the stop and my foot's lifting up and the clutch has just fully engaged.
Didn't see anything in a search..

If your clutch is engaging at the end of the pedal travel, you need a new clutch. Yours is about to go splat.
It is all worn out thus it engages later.

Personally, I'd bleed the system first. Although it does sound like your clutch it about to piss you off, bleeding it can get rid of a few bugs in the closet for you.
Yah, I was thinking about wear, since sometimes on a hard launch I can slip it through first if I don't let off the gas to help it catch (and sometimes second if I don't feel like being nice to it). Most all the time it's great though, made eight nice runs with solid launches at the autocross 2 weeks ago and not one slip.
42k miles and never been to the strip either. Of course, autocrossing is probably just as nasty..
I wonder if the the extended warranty will touch it, with the alum driveshaft and adjustable torque arm it will be pretty obvious it's been exposed to some form of abuse. Then again, it's a good excuse to upgrade to the centerforce dual friction :)

Centerforce is the best aftermarket clutch I have ever used. I drive a lot of different "racing" and performance clutched cars at work, and I like the centerforce the best. I haven't used a spec clutch on a camaro though... The centerforce hold the 100 shot and is VERY streetable.
