Last Friday I learned about clutch adjustment. Woohoo... I put on 250-300 miles between the Tri-State 914 gathering and tooling around town here and there.

Yesterday, we took the 914 to the obstetrician. (Is that wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) )
On the way home, I noticed the same symptoms. Sure enough, clutch pedal play was back where it started last week, after only 250-300 miles.

The 2 11mm nuts spin loose enough that I could do it by hand. This time, after I adjusted, I slightly backed off the first, while tightening the locking one behind it. Hopefully this will keep it in place, but is there anything I should watch out for that could be causing this to loosen up so quickly?

Thanks. Time to go for a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) drive. Maybe this weekend preggers will learn to drive manual trans?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) I'm scared.
