    Adjust internal clutch adjuster to 1/2" gap between throughout bearing and clutch brake.This adjustment must be done with the clutch depressed and is clockwise adjust to close the gap.Fork to bearing gap should be at 1/8". Adjust the linkage to achieve this gap only after internal is set.
     
    AModelCat and spsauerland Thank this.

    What do I turn clockwise to adjust to close the gap? Also what do you mean fork to bearing gap? I"m assuming your talking about the clutch fork.

    Bar or bump the engine over until the adjuster is in view of the inspection hole. 5/8" hex adjuster. Push in and rotate to adjust. Make sure the adjuster pops back out when final adjustment is reached. Yes the 1/8" gap is clutch fork to throughout bearing gap. If you want the engagement point closer to the floor make your 1/2" gap a smidge tighter. Won't hurt a thing, as the clutch wears your gap will increase.

    To get the clutch to grab closer to the floor go 1/2" or or a little less gap from clutch to fork, right? What was the 1/8" gap for? Clutch being depressed the whole time while doing this? Thanks.

    No. Make the 1/2 " gap slightly smaller if you want engagement closer to the floor. Clutch deressed while adjusting the adjuster internal. The cluch must be released to turn the the adjuster only. Let up pedal and recheck both gaps.

    @Goodysnap stated were to check gap in his first post. Rechecking means to check after making adjustments and actuating clutch.
