[Roadsters] Clutch Adjustment

[robert k. smith]

hi steve, you have too much free play on the pedal, or the arm

 coming out of the bell housing. the play at the arm on the bell

hsing. should be 1/8 to 1/4 in.; no more.  on the pedal, be sure

there is 1- 11/2 in. free play(at the top) before the pedal gets

hard to push. do it by hand so you can feel the play better. if the

rod on the clutch pedal isnt adjustable, you might need to get one

that is threaded, as the original roadster setup is, and, there

should be a spring on the arm to bell hsng, and an adjustable rod,

so you can adj. free play there, too. if this doesnt make sense,

please call me. 1 614 418 9911.

good luck, bob smith , ohio.> From: stebharvey at ameritech.net> To:
