How much free-play is our car's clutch supposed to have? None? or a couple inches? I have a Spec stage 3 clutch and just had to put a new throwout bearing in and I dont want to have to put another one in.
Clutch Free-Play?

I have a Steeda Quadrant, Firewall Adjuster, and cable. Its a breeze to adjust the free play I just don't wanna set too much or too little.
you should have a half inch of travel before the clutch starts slipping~ that means a tight petal feel and a high petal~ but... thats how mine works best.
My car stock had a low floppy petal... very hard to shift the darn thing as it wasnt getting full engagment.

Thats not the freeplay they are talking about. They are talking the distance the TOB is from the teeth of the pressure plate. If yours is setup like you mention I am willing to put money that you will have a premature TOB failure. Well from what I read anyways.
I personally like your method and its the only way the car feels right to me, but after research I found out its the wrong way.
Care to inform me of the "right" way?
As it sits I believe there might be a few millimeters between the TOB and teeth of the pressure plate. I adjusted my firewall adjuster all the way out except for 1 or 2 clicks. (which is about 1/4 to 1/2 turn)
