Thanks Don

The car will be at the Morgan Hill Xmas parade on December 2nd, or if you are in MH are a drop me a line.

Was under the car last night, found the adjustment. Unfortunately, not much left to adjust. Took it to the max and pedal free play is 3" now instead of 4.5". SO, will drop the transmission I guess to replace the clutch plate and pressure plate

There appears to be a second adjustment , a rod parallel to the adjustment rod. Didn't have the car up on the lift, so couldn't see the adjustment end. Fig 51 n the shop manual illustrates this, but they show the adjustment on the inboard nut, which I think is in error. Anyone know?


You may also want to check for worn linkage and other parts before replacing the clutch.

I believe the adjustment on the inboard nut you mention is for how much "boost" the over center spring provides.
