Adjusting my clutch pedal today. Two pictures:
Clutch pedal out (not pushed):  Clutch pedal pushed to stop on pedal board:  Do these positions look right (besides my plumbing fitting used in place of a stack of washers)? Or should the clutch arm touch the transmission case when the pedal is pushed in? |

Ok.... let's say I don't want to drop the transmission out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) .
If that gap lets me shift without grinding gears, I'm OK? In the other direction, what's the best way to check to make sure the clutch isn't slipping when the pedal is "out"? |

As per Haynes, you need some free play on the top of the pedal before you feel any resistance ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Those instructions always confused me - enough for me to look at it backwards: adjust the pedal at the "in" position and see if that gives me some free play at the top. Along those lines, you think I would have more the 3/32" gap if everything were OK in the transmission? Also, that plumbing fitting has been flattened on the arm end so it fits nicely in the arm "stays" and the wingnut sits in the opposite open end of the fitting as well (looks sorta like the "trunion" just mentioned - which is now added to my PP Project List). Don't get me wrong, in a perfect world I'm going to take a Dr. Evil transmission class and get in there to make everything right - I'd like to drive her a bit first if it's not doing any damage, though. |
