Crawl under the dash and find the clutch pedal assembly.

There is a 12mm nut attatched to a rod going to the master cylinder through the firewall.

Loosen that nut. Turn the rod in and out to adjust freeplay to where you want it/to spec.

Thanks bro, but its not installed yet i have the cylinder in my hadn, so the littel nut is what adjusts it right ??


that adjust when the clutch pedal pulls the cylinder, ok thanks, so looisen would be longer and tighten would make it activate faster rught ? thanks

If you loosen the adjuster, it makes the freeplay less since the whole mechanism gets extended, IIRC.


The nut is just a jamnut. You have to adjust the rod by turning it. You just back the nut off a few threads.

It will be very obvious when you see it. If you turn the rod one way and the pedal gets more freeplay...you can easily assume that turning it the other way will give it less freeplay. Easy.
