Why after adjusting the clutch to a point where when engaging into first or second there are no grinds on a cold start....
but after the car is hot it begins to grind in first second, and third does not engage as well does the cable expand this much from the heat?? |

Within the 1st 1/4 of travel is the 1st 1/4 of travel if you take the whole of travel and divide it by 1/4ths. So, by the time you have covered 1/4 of the total travel during depressing the pedal, the clutch should be released.
Given the previous, when releasing the clutch pedal you should fell the clutch grab at about 3/4 travel on the way back up. Play refers to neutral movement. You should be able to move the pedal up and down with no resistance (it should be loose) about 3/4 inch. The pedal will ultimately rest at the low end of this travel so you should be able to pull it back towards the aft of the car 3/4". Clear as mud? |

What's really clear is that my clutch engages/disengages WAY too close to the floor! Looks like the pedal should engage up near the top. Thus, my clutch should start grabbing more proximal than distal! I'll readjust my clutch and then play with the free play. Paul |
