Are you looking for expert how to adjust your clutch pedal depends on the make and model of your vehicle. As a German-centric repair shop, they understand how important clutches are to drivers. Manual transmissions are still popular among this crowd.
Self-Adjusting Clutch Adjustment
A self-adjusting clutch typically adjusts itself for the proper amount of free play. However, this may not always be the case, so self-adjusting models use hydraulics.
When the engine is running, put on the parking brake and place your foot under the clutch. Lift it toward yourself, and then you can test your results by depressing it. See how far down the clutch must be moved before the vehicle changes gears. If this personal inspection fails, bring it to a licensed and certified mechanic.
Manual Clutch Adjustment
Turn off the engine and engage the emergency parking brake. Then, position your head beneath the dashboard, giving you a clear view underneath. There should be a clutch cable and a threaded rod, one with a locknut and adjuster nut. Screw and unscrew the adjuster nut to alter the amount of free play the clutch is given. Pull up on the clutch and push down on it to determine where it engages again.
