When tightening your clutch cable, how much free play do you want in the pedal? When adjusting the acc. cable at the throttle body, how loose should it be? When I had my acc. cable too tight, I would push the clutch in, and the rpm's would shoot up. So, what is the right set up?

Chris,

My acc cable has quite a bit of free play at the throttle body. I can move it to the side about 1/2" without moving the actual throttle. It always seemed like too much to me but, I never could notice any dead peddle so I left it alone. I quess it's that old "if it ain't busted don't fix it" or maybe my feet are so insensitive I can't feel it.

With the clutch on the otherhand, I've always been told to adjust it out so there is only about an inch of free travel. The reason I've been told is that it allows a little easier shifting into 1st.
