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. |

If you disconnect the cable, the pedal falls to the floor....the resistance is opposite "normal cars". You pull the cable to pull the pedal up and the tension you are feeling is the spring pressure at the pedal.
At least this is how I see it. My method is to tighten the nut on the cable, get in the car, start it and see where the clutch engages...if it is about 1/2 - 3/4 up from the floor, I know I have free play....but then that's just me. |
