Friends,
Can anyone tell me the correct (stock) length of the adjustable connecting rod in the clutch linkage? I am wondering if the rod on the car now (it is new and was installed by a restorer) is too short. I have been trying to adjust the free play in my clutch pedal. It was at about two inches (which made shifting a bit dodgy). I managed to bring the free play down to about 1.25 inches but have run out of room for further adjustments because the rear adjusting nut is now all the way back at the end of the rod. The car is shifting fine now. Maybe I should leave well enough alone, but I think the manual says free play in the pedal should only be about 11/16 of an inch.
BTW, the car is a BN1 but at some point before I bought it someone put in a BN2 transmission. Don't know if that makes any difference.
Many thanks.
Richard
