You only adjust the linkage if the clutch brake needs adjusting due to linkage wear, cab mounts etc, not for freeplay.
Actually the free play at the pedal will be increasing when you turn the adjusting ring clockwise.Originally Posted by pdm
Take the bolt out, it locks the adjuster ring, Hold the clutch pedal to the floor with a bar/helper etc. Using a prybar turn the ring counterclockwise ( opposite engine rotation). Move it 5 or 6 notches & check the adjustment, freeplay should be decreasing & the release bg shouild move away from the transmission. Turn the ring until you have a 1/2 inch between the brg & transmission.You only adjust the linkage if the clutch brake needs adjusting due to linkage wear, cab mounts etc, not for freeplay.
Those old type adjustment rings with the "lockstrap" also had a nasty habit of getting jammed so the ring wouldn't turn. I've had to use a hammer & drift to break that type free occasionally. Hopefully the one in firebird's truck will still turn.
