Clutch (Pedal Play and Adjustment)

ebo 4356 · December 3rd, 2007, 08:05 PM

My clutch pedal has a lot more play than before, i tried to adjust it but its not tightening up, how exactly do i adjust the pedal. And why isnt it tightening.

Push the pedal to the floor, pull back on the pedal all the way by hand, repeat. It's self adjusting.

the manual says to pull up on the clutch then push down until you hear a click.

That is the correct procedure. If you arent getting any adjustment then its possible that either the cable is stretched or the quadrant is beat.
