When i push in the pedal to my clutch it releases really early maybe a inch, inch and half and i can change gears in motion is this normal or do i have to tighten or loosen my cable when should the pedal be when the clutch releases is my question

 

You want about an inch of free play before the clutch pedal starts feeling resistance. That's what my gf's dad told me and he's been in the car game for a LONG time.

 

So I am just about at the right spot, I was told a long time ago but I spaced what I was told lol. Thanks

Anyone that knows different feel free to reply

 

I think that if you tighten it too much the clutch is always getting worn on, so you want some free play. When I finished my tranny swap and took it out for a test drive, I had it too loose and I had to bury the clutch in the floor just to shift!

 

yea thats how mine is and then I tightened it a bunch and thats where I am at now. I was worried about wearing my clutch thats why I came to the H-T

 

ok well i tightened it and it seems like the screw gets looser as i use the clutch more, as in I have about a inch and a half free play then a couple blocks later im slamming it to the floor to get it in gear, is this normal or am i just retarded?

 

is your nut stripped

if not , is it not seated( just keep resetting it till it settles)

if it keeps f'in up, check your cable

Mine did that to a certain extent. It was because I had to pull the screw assembly out to tighten it properly, and when it re-seated itself it would be looser cause it was in the right spot. I just kept tightening it a lil bit evry time and it's fine now. but it's only plastic, so the threads may have stripped.
