Then from there look at a stranding clutch cable, a worn ball stud cup, a broken clutch tube, a shattered clutch disc, etc. |

This is under the car, on the passenger side just in front of the axle.
The double nut system is at the end of the clutch cable, and the lever is the clutch lever. This is where you tighten your cable up. Attached image(s)

...and be sure you're at a complete stop before shifting into 1st or R. You'll grind off $25 of teeth everytime you try to shift on the roll.
If you do a search you'll find several old posts on linkage adjustment. here's a helpful link on common problems with our shifters: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...ift_improve.htm |

Dr EvilJul 29 2008, 04:34 PM Within the 1st 1/4 of travel is the 1st 1/4 of travel if you take the whole of travel and divide it by 1/4ths. So, by the time you have covered 1/4 of the total travel during depressing the pedal, the clutch should be released. Given the previous, when releasing the clutch pedal you should fell the clutch grab at about 3/4 travel on the way back up. Play refers to neutral movement. You should be able to move the pedal up and down with no resistance (it should be loose) about 3/4 inch. The pedal will ultimately rest at the low end of this travel so you should be able to pull it back towards the aft of the car 3/4". Paul |
