Adjusting Clutch Pedal stroke/engagment

[wpayne]

Ok, I remember reading some where that there is a way to adjust wear in the stroke of the clutch pedal the clutch will engage. Like you turn this screw and you can make it so that the clutch engages half wa through the stroke or towards the very begining.

So if someone knows what I'm talking about I need some help. I just had my clutch replaced and cylinders and what not and the clutch engages towards the end of the stroke as I let the pedal out. I want to adjust it so it's back to how it was, closer to the begining as I let the pedal out.

I'll try to explain it as best I can.

On the clutch pedal you'll find a push rod that goes into the clutch master cylinder. You'll also see that it's threaded. All you have to do is loosed the nut and thread the whole rod in or out. I believe (don't quote me on this) that threading it in will engage the clutch sooner and threading it out will engage the clutch at the top of it's stroke.

NOW keep in mind that there are minimum and maximum requirements on the clutch pedal free play yada yada. Info on this can be found in an FSM or on 240.org in the FAQ section.

A while ago when I still had the KAslow I adjusted my clutch to the point where I barley had to move the pedal to get it to disengage. Turned out that in was never really pressing up against the pressure plate very well either. After a short sprint on the highway clutch overheated and slipped. Couldn't get anywhere. I had to pull over and readjust, wait for the clutch to cool down and drove away. Just FYI

Good luck!
