Hi guys,

Tried adjusting my clutch but ended up injuring myself going into the footwell on my back, so going to make a day of it and get the seats out and give them a refresh at the same time.

Anyway, regarding the clutch adjustment I have read a dozen posts on the US part of this forum explaining it, but I don't think I get it. Maybe I'm being thick, or I just haven't played with the clutch to know what they're on about, but in particular this post for example:

The 'freeplay' refers to how loose the clutch pedal is, before the clutch engages right?
Also, step 2 says to turn the rod, and then step 3 says to hold the clutch and then turn it again? Surely the two will do the same thing? Or am I missing something?

Also this diagram:



I've heard you can cause slippage by not doing it properly so don't want to mess up!

Thanks.

No free play=clutch slip or may warp it if not enuff clearance <expansion of fluid and parts>

Basically, loosen locknut, and turn (clockwise) the bolt until most of the free 'floppiness' has gone from the pedal, but not so much that it rides the clutch. Tighten lock nut, and relax

Thanks - you make it sound so easy

After posting on here over a year ago done some checking and adjusting of pedal levels ,
much better into 1st/2nd gear with clutch rod tweaked from sloppy play
