[QUOTE="melectrok, post: 6710351, member: 43130"] Can someone help me with adjusting my clutch cable. The instructions along with other post on here say to adjust with zero lash. I have adjusted mine until all the play was gone so that there is slight tension, enough to keep things from rattling. When I press the clutch pedal there is about 3/4" - 1" of play of what I am calling light tension, before you can feel the tension get harder. During this 3/4 inch I beleive I see the clutch fingers moving but since its such light tenstion I dont think it is yet moving the clutch. Do i need to adjust out this play as well. Or am I good where I am at. I can pull out slightly on the cable at the adjust to create a small gap but the throw out bearing is still touching the fingers and spins. Can someone tell me does the bearing wear come from the bearing spinning or only when it has the side load. I dont think I can make the bearing stop spinning unless I put alot of play in the cable. Is the best way to adjust the cable to drive the car and fell where the clutch engages? People on here are saying you want the cluch to engage about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up from the firewall. Does engaging mean the point where the car starts to move but is still slipping or when the clutch locks up? Should I adjust the adjuster to get me a good feel about 5/8 of the way up and not worry about if the throw out bearing is touching or not? Thanks 1996 Cobra Coupe One last thing. When going into reverse I dont seem to have a problem but I do need to hold the clutch down about 2 seconds for the transmission to stop spinning, but then It goes right in. Does this have anything to do with the clutch adjustment or is it how it is suppose to be? It did this before I installed the adjust and quadrant. [/QUOTE]
