The proper way to adjust the clutch is with
clutch pivot ball on the top of the passenger side of
the bellhousing. What you are trying to do is get
clearance between the throwout bearing and the pressure
plate fingers. When you adjust the pivot ball, this
will result in the pedal freeplay. Getting freeplay at
the clutch pedal by adjusting the cable will not
necessarely give you the clearance between the throwout
bearing and press plate. With the pedal all the way up,
adjust the cable to remove all clearance between the
cable end and clutch fork, now go and adjust the pivot
ball on top of the bellhousing, screwing it out will
result in more freeplay, screwing it in will give you
less. Ultimately what you are really trying to
accomplish is getting a certain gap between the clutch disc
and flywheel when the pedal is pushed down
disengaging the clutch but unless you drill a hole in the
bellhousing to be able to insert a feeler gauge doing the
pedal freeplay adjustment is a round-about way to
achieve this. Just remember, take the slack out of the
cable then make your adjustment on the pivot ball. Do
not rely on using the cable to get pedal freeplay.
Hope this helps, Clyde
