I've always been somewhat confused with this. Is the freeplay the distance you get when you pull up on the clutch pedal until it stops, or is the distance you get when you push on the pedal before you feel resistance?
My feeling is that the answer is pushing the pedal until you feel resistance. Which seems like it would be pretty subtle and hard to get set "properly", maybe not. |

It is the "free space" between the throw out bearing and the clutch fingers. If the bearing is in constant contact with the fingers, it will prematurely wear the bearing and possibly the fingers on the clutch plate.
Edit: Since the clutch pedal is spring loaded, pulling up on the pedal is the only way to determine if there is free play between the bearing and fingers...that is unless you have xray vision or a really small mirror and good light to look thru the clutch arm hole in the tranny. |
