Hey can someone tell me the procedure for adjusting the clutch on the 914. My pedal just sits on the floor. I know theres a procedure somewhere and the Haynes doesn't really help. Thanks

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Adjusting the tension of the cable IS adjusting the clutch.

If you would have fast-forwarded to page three of the article, you would have read the final part of the job ... adjusting the cable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Now, do a preliminary adjustment of the clutch so that the arm has just about no free play at the transmission case (the cable should be pulling the arm so that the throw-out bearing just rests against the pressure plate. Lower the car, and then reattach the battery ground. You should be able to drive the car out of your garage, and test out the clutch. You can adjust the clutch feel by tightening the screw nut on the cable near the throw-out arm. To make the clutch grab high on the clutch pedal, loosen the screw nut on the clutch cable.


Now I know why Krusty sounds grouchy sometimes ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
