im using the same clutch mate in a series 2. . mine was 1cm or so aswell off the floor and the car just jumped off the line wasnt helpful in traffic lol and was hard to drive and then all of a sudden it started messing around the pedal lost the feel of the clutch[adjusted it self so no clutch] as the ratchet dropped a few teeth..kept doing this.in the end i put a mk5 pedal i think well its silver and im sure its off the newer shape escort.... put that on an adjusted the screw on the pedal[comes with it] and now its PERFECT LIKE A NORMAL CAR biting point is higher now and driveable sooo worth doing.been like this year
