Were looking into purchasing a 95 trooper w/87,000 on it as a back up vehicle When I test drove it I noticed the clutch was barely off the floor shifts smoothly though. Need to know if the clutch is adjustable or not. Was a slave to last vehicle don't want to spend every other day under another.

After you confirm there is no leaks, re-bleed the system with fresh fluid. If the pedal does not change, then it has a little adjustment you can play with. But it you stick you head under the dash and it looks good, i.e. the pedal comes up far enough to hit the switch, then it probably doesn't need adjustment.

And, just my opinion, if you don't want a patient riddled with car cancer, don't buy the Trooper.

Suggested Repair

Check the hydraulic clutch for leaks, then re-bleed it with fresh fluid. If pedal height does not improve and the pedal does not reach the under-dash switch, use the under-dash adjustment bolt; if it already contacts the switch, adjustment may not be needed.

Conversation Summary

The buyer test-drove a 1995 Isuzu Trooper with a clutch pedal that was barely off the floor, though it shifted smoothly, and asked whether the clutch is adjustable. The expert advised checking for leaks and re-bleeding with fresh fluid, then using the limited adjustment only if the pedal still does not rise far enough to hit the switch. Another owner reported the same low-engagement issue on a 1991 Trooper and said turning and retightening the under-dash adjustment bolt restored normal pedal feel.
