Clutch: Adjustments

The clutch is automatically adjusted by a self-adjusting mechanism, see accompanying figure, mounted to the clutch pedal and bracket assembly. The clutch cable is a fixed length and cannot be shortened or lengthened, however, the position of the cable can be changed by adjusting the position of the detent in relation to the clutch pedal. This is accomplished by pulling pedal upward to the rubber bumper. This action forces the pawl against the stop and causes the pawl to be out of mesh with the detent teeth, allowing the cable to play out until the detent spring load is balanced against the load applied by the release bearing.
