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. |

In most cars, the free play is the amount of pedal travel you push down before encountering any resistance. In our cars, the spring on the pedal means all of the freel play is taken up already by the spring. So the free play is how much you can pull the pedal upward before it stops.
