The car I bought this summer came with a Rennshift in it with a Tangerine Racing precision shift adjuster installed. I know people don't like them, but it was in already. So I was going through some adjustments with that and found I had a clutch problem caused by a pedal board adjustment. That led me to a clutch cable issue in the back. Got that all sorted and that is where the chasing my tail started.
I cannot tell if my current shift problems are clutch or shifter adjustment issues. I have not found any definitive clutch adjustment specs, seems like you do it by feel and pedal travel. And I try to go to the shifter adjustments and it feels like clutch issues. Back and forth Need help isolating the two and and getting things worked out. Where to start? I am only one set of hands and eyes and that makes things a little harder too. Suggestions appreciated. |

Did you get copies of the instructions for those upgraded components?
The precision adjuster requires a specific approach to initial setup. After that it's quite simple. The clutch free-play measurement (3/4-1") referenced above is checked by pulling back on the pedal. Which is opposite to the way brake pedal free-play is measured. I like to adjust my clutch cable length so the clutch bites at around 1/3 of the full travel. edit: dave beat me to it.
