Re: [DML] Where should my clutch grab?

[dherv10@xxxx]

Payne, I installed a new clutch in my car about 4 weeks ago, 51,000 miles car 
# 11004. I used to feel the clutch was weak and was engaging a little of the 
top. I adjusted the top of the peddle screw for more travel but after 
installing the new clutch, it grabs a little off the bottom with plenty of 
travel at the top. No, clutch peddle adjustment needed. My feeling is if you 
need more adjustment than what the screw allows at the top, then you may be 
ready for a new clutch. The new adjustment peddle linkage that Gradys sells 
may be great to have, but if it's needed, you may be covering up a problem 
before it happens. Clutches won't last forever. If you keep driving the car 
and the clutch is slipping, then when it goes you may hurt the flywheel which 
will cost more money.
