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? |

OK, I am not a mocho man I just have the mustache. I do it by the feel of the cable slack or the lack of it. I pull down on the cable just below the CV joint. The slack needs to be about one eight of an inch and this hurts my poor little finger. If you have more slack than that your clutch may drag and the tranny may be hard to shift.
