Reply to "Clutch ajustment"

Use the stop bolt adjustment and associated lock nut to achieve a minimal clearance (0.040") between the clutch pressure plate fingers and the throwout bearing in the fully released position.  Then install the release spring.  Best to disconnect  slave cylinder rod from arm while doing this.  Then adjust slave cylinder rod length so the slave cylinder is not quite bottomed out (maybe about 0.040"), then hook rod up to transaxle rod.   This should give you maximum clutch release travel.

As the clutch wears, the throwout bearing to clutch pressure fingers clearance will decrease.  You must always maintain this clearance, because if it goes to zero, you will preload the throwout bearing which will lead to premature throwout bearing failure and/or clutch slippage.  If this adjustment is needed with the stop bolt, you may also have to re-adjust the slave cylinder rod length so the slave cylinder rod does not bottom out.
