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?

Do you have the right freeplay in the pedal ,thinking I have 13- 19mm? if not working right tighten up but expect stretch with more use.
It may need further adjustment and you should be fine.
Edit …..hope you haven't bought a Cofle cable as they are rubbish...ask me how I know.
Good luck.
