I've been reading some recent threads on clutch adjustment and so far I haven't had a problem on the whole 10 miles have driven on my car. (Still in the adjustment stage.)
I fear my clutch is too tight. Should I be able to pull backwards (toward the driver) on the clutch pedal? If so, how much? Is the backward movement the spec shown in the Haynes Manual? Now the driving part. I've always pushed the clutch to the stop every shift. Is that the correct technique or have been over stretching the cable all these years? |

Each type of car is different so burying the clutch is not an issue in most cars. For example in my Mini Cooper you can totally depress the clutch pedal without any issue of ever hurting anything, but in the MGB or Fiat you can overextend the seals of things aren’t properly set up.
As for your new 914 depressing clutch beyond disengagement doesn’t help younshift so I would avoid depressing it to the firewall. The actual movement is pretty small at the throw out arm. I was taught, and I’ve used this a couple of time now successfully, that the cable should be taunt but with a little give when you pull it downward. Think there is a good video of this on YouTube, maybe even from Ian. Does that help? If it shifts properly leave it and just drive. |
