QUOTE(jaxdream @ Apr 8 2014, 10:21 AM)  What are some of the advantages of a horizontal pulley setup ??? Gets it out of the way of some header designs. That's the main thing I know of. Makes a nice shelf for dirt to accumulate on, too... --DD |

So last weekend, I adjusted my new clutch cable after 1 week of driving. I ended up tightening the nut in a couple full turns. Now this week, it feels like it needs adjusted some more already.
I assume I should just be adjusting the nut a couple more full turns in each time until it stops stretching? Also, I believe I should be feeling clutch engagement/disengagement fairly highly on the clutch pedal? The shifting is good, but getting into first gear at stop stop is hit/miss. Sometimes super smooth and sometimes alot of jiggling to get it into gear. Also, second gear seems a little rough to get into at times. I'm guess I should have a look at my firewall bushing this weekend also. |

Pull off the carpet over the center tunnel. Look through the hole in the gear shift lever base as you push the clutch pedal. If you see the cable moving left-to-right, the clutch tube has broken loose and you need to fix it.

Clutch engages fairly high, not on the floor.

Paul I feel mine is that way.....seems like for shifting I have to get the pedal almost all the way to the floor, but I feel it engage into the next gear (ie going from 1st to 2nd) pretty high on the pedal. TIA... |
