Shortening the throw on the clutch pedal?
Is there any way to adjust the throw on the clutch pedal so that the clutch would engage sooner,or modify the pedal so it takes less travel to engage? It's not a huge problem but I've noticed there's a lot of travel on the pedal,more so than seems necessary.

You'll have to readjust it after installing the thicker bumper. I pulled the inspection cover and kept checking my throwout by hand as I went along until it was nice and close. There were enough threads on the rod. Just remember, if you have the 3 lever pressure plate this mod may not work.

Check all of your linkage they tend to get wore out after 50 years.When I replaced mine it took out a lot of the slop.
