Clutch

[R1cho]

yea or pull the cleavis pin out and then you can pull through and do it in the engine bay

Right I'm going to try and adjust this at lunch

My plan of attack is to remove the clevis pin, undo the bolts on the bulkhead and pull it through and adjust.

So lets say my pedal is to the floor, if I lift up the clutch is immediately engaged as the bite point is very low to the floor, so do I need to tighten the nut or loosen the nut to bring it further up the pedal travel?

you need to make the adjusting bar shorter so its not putting as much force into pushing the clutch fork

Incorrect, I used that logic and that made it worse :doh

I in fact lengthened it and my bite point is now a lot better

Here's how I did it;

Removed Lower Dash Trim for access (x3 Phillips Head Screws)
Removed locking pin and clevis pin from pedal assembly

In engine bay, remove x2 12mm nuts from slave cylinder and the slave should pull off the threads, remove oil dipstick as this gives just enough room to pull it out enough.

Once pulled out you'll see the adjusting bar

Loosen the 12mm locking nut and twist the fork to extend or shorten and re-tighten nut

Refitting is reverse of removal :thumb2
