From my 31 pages of trans notes:
*Clutch cable The clutch cable being too loose is probably one of the most common reasons that people’s shifting sucks. If your cable is too loose then you will not be able to fully disengage the pressure plate from the clutch disk and you will keep power to the transmission. If it is really loose then reverse will grind when shifting into it from a standstill. There is no way that this should happen if the clutch is fully disengaged. To properly adjust your clutch, you need to tighten the cable until the clutch disengages at about 1/4 to 1/3 pedal travel (See figure 1 in appendix). If the clutch disengages too early then it is too tight, too late then it is too loose. Attached image(s) |

I was under the impression that the clutch should disengage the last 2 inches of pedal arc. If disingaging in the early part of the arc, it would cause damage to ( I forgot what) another part of the system.

Too tight and it will wear the items, too loose and it will wear items. Just right and items wear slower and properly. |
