The only way to adjust a hydraulicclutchis by adjusting the length of theslave-cylinderpushrod. If your pushrod is not adjustable, you maybe able to finda suitable replacement at a junkyard that youcaninstall.
Moreover, how do you adjust a clutch pedal?
- Loosen the master cylinder pushrod locknut (located at thepedalclevis). Adjust the pedal height by turning the mastercylinderpushrod.
- Turn the clutch switch or the pedal stop until the pedalheightmeasures 7.9 in. (203mm) for 1980-82 models or 7.8 in.
- Check the pedal free-play. It should be 0.039-0.20 in.
- Remove the inspection cover plate.
- Clean the clutch housing.
- Identify the adjuster bolt.
- Rotate the adjuster bolt.
- Loosen pressure on the adjuster bolt, allowing it to popbackinto the "locked" position.
- Evaluate clutch brake position.
- Replace the inspection cover plate.
Beside above, how do I know if my hydraulic clutch is bad?
