proper procedure for adjusting clutch?


Recommended Posts

hi all,

 

need to know how to adjust the clutch on my 89 GL wagon - with hill holder.

 

also curious as to how often the clutch should be adjusted - I am currently putting about 100 miles a day on this car going to work and back, a combination of rural roads with a couple of little towns along the way, and freeway.

adjust clutch first, how you like it. then adjust hill holder

 

figure how far you keep your foot off the ground, i keep my heel on the floor and clutch with my toe, clutch engages almost immediately off the floor. dont like to hover my leg, clutch to the floor for me

 

you dont want to clutch so high that it over extends the pressure plate and bearing. when relaxrd, i leave about a mm of slack, lock the nut. that is al you need.

 

from there you can adjust the hill holder, find a hill to park on

 

on either adjustments you only want to make a few turns each try till you get it where you want it
