Default Clutch Freeplay

how can I set that? I forget, and I don't have access to Mitchell until monday.

I'm pretty sure I have to adjust the part I'm thinking about under the hood... but is there a way under the dash? Cause it's damn cold outside, and my garage isn't heated.

You can adjust the pedal. thats about it.


If you have freeplay. Somethings defective.

Fork or Bearing. or one of the cylinders.

It's only about half inch of freeplay, that's it.
EDIT: Freeplay in the pedal, I should add.

you need freeplay in the pedal.

::edit::
right after i did "the swap," i thought if i took ALL of the freeplay out of the pedal, that would aid in high-rpm shifting. well, i took it all out....so i thought. later that day, when i was driving, i would give it, say, 70% throttle, and the rpms would climb, but the speed wouldn't. it was because i took just enough out of the pedal that the clutch was disengaged just a enough to slip under high-throttle loads. yeah, leave some free play in there. wink remember, the release fulcrum only moves like 3 degrees. consider the distance you push the clutch pedal and 3 degrees.
