adjusting my clutch (what an art!)...how critical, is the clutch stop on the pedal board Options

[jim912928]

I've searched this site for the tricks on adjusting the clutch cable...lots of threads but I didn't find any that really gave the step by steps that you need to do on both the clutch pedal side and the transmission side. However, several threads mentioned the importance of the clutch stop bracket that is on the pedal board.

I do not have one on my pedal board. Does anybody have a picture of one so I can see if it is something I can easily make?

Also, anybody have the step 1, 2, 3....etc on what to adjust?

Seems like I have to push my pedal completely to the floor to disengage the clutch. I've checked my clutch cable tubes and they are fine.

Thanks,

Jim

The pedal stop is to keep from overstretching the cable. It is simply a metal bracket across the pedal hole in the floorboard.

You can follow all the directions you want for adjustment, but I keep tigenting the cable until my release point is about 1/3 to 1/2 the travel from the floor to the pedal resting spot.

Don't currently have an image on file or I would post it.

i agree (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) depress a 1/4 to 1/3 inch to begin disengaging...and engage 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
