Clutch Woes
« on: July 24, 2006, 06:15:54 AM »
Hey
   Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, I Moved ... and lost my garage... but gained a barn... but it's old and decrepid... but I still have a basement workshop, it's just a mess. but anyway to the point of the post. When I push my clutch pedal to the floor it's hard to get the shifter first out of gear and then in to another gear even sometimes when it's pushed all the way to the floor. This is on my 96 geo track 2dr btw. I figured either clutch plate adjustment or the clutch is worn out. but which one is it? Any help? I don't wanna start ripping into it without a good idea now that I have no garage and live on the side of a hill. :'(

Thanks guys

I've found that the clutch is quite sensitive to adjustment. There should be 1mm (40 thou) of free play at the clutch end of the cable.
