Clutch Adjustment issue 67 L-79

Re: Clutch Adjustment issue 67 L-79

Glad you got it working Larry. That 1'-1/2'' is NOT really that critical. It is the distance the petal moves downward till you feel the resistance. Use you hand to push down. 1/2, 3/4 or more, you're OK. Bill

I expect the real measurement is the 3/8 - 7/16 of an inch that you adjust for on the pedal rod?

Been there. When I bought my 66 L79, the PO had done the same thing. He "fixed" it by making his own longer clutch rod. It worked, but I didn't want a home made clutch rod, so I got the right one. Then the clutch didn't work. So we changed the TO bearing. All good.

The LUK clutch kit (part number 04-21) is in the car now and everything seems to be fine. I adjusted the clutch per the Chasis Service manual, but I could not get 1.25" of free pedal travel from the rubber bumper.

Larry -

The pedal free play measurement is made at the pedal itself, not between the pedal arm and the rubber bumper; shown in UPC 7, sheet A3 in the Assembly Manual.

John thanks for the info.
