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.

It's also to keep from "overcentering" the clutch, or pushing the fingers on the pressure plate too far.

Also if the firewall is weak and flexing at the clutch tube, or if the brazing at the clutch tube has broken and the tube is loose, you'll never be able to adjust the clutch.
