mountainbikeak Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hey I had a post on here the other day about this.. my clutch doesn't engage until its all the way up. within a 1\4 inch... I tried tightening cable as suggested that just made clutch pedal higher.. I know your pedal is supose to be the same height as the brake.. mines, about 2 inches above. would that effect my clutch adjustment???? suggestions would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robaru Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I didn't read your other post, but if adjustment of the cable didn't help, and your clutch hasn't been replaced, good chance it may need it. I just bought a clutch kit from napa for 200 bucks for a 86 ea82 that I just got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look at it some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Clutch should be adjusted to have 1/16" to 1/8" of free play at the clutch fork or about 1/2" free play at the pedal. I haven't a clue as to why it's 2" higher than your brake pedal but it doesn't sound right and it wouldn't have anything to do with the proper clutch engagement.

Does that mean that when i push the pedal down at 1/2'' the clutch should engage? I'm asking because that doesn't seem like much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave valiant Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Did you try loosening it.I installed a new cable on my 88wagon,and i had it way to tight on my initial adjustment.I just loosened it until I liked the height it was at.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
