Re: Need clutch adjustment help

Yes, post number 4 on the link in markeb01 post explains the adjustment well. There are a couple of ways to get the end result.

The free play is the most important thing. It needs to be 1 3⁄8 –1 5⁄8 in as mentioned.

I believe you need to make the rod shorter to get it closer to the floor but again it is the free play that you should worry about.

If the pedal comes up that far then I don't think the clutch is your 1st - 2nd problem.

Chatter is usually caused from an overheated flywheel and they get warped like a brake rotor. You can put a new clutch disc and pressure plate on a flywheel that chatters and have good clutch performance. Typically it is a good idea to have the flywheel resurfaced when replacing a clutch assembly.
