When I got this samurai the clutch pedal sat really high compared to the brake and gas, shifted fine but I knew it wasn't right and wanted to lower it. I loosened the piece that holds the cable at the end of the splined pedal shaft and lowered the pedal. Im pretty sure that piece had been replaced cause I found a broken one in the glove box. Then I went under and adjusted some slack out of the cable, after that it wouldn't shift into gear. I adjusted more but now I don't have the right free play and it still doesn't feel right.

There are a few different places on the cable where adjustments can be made, at the bracket on the tranny housing and 2 at the release arm, one with a spring and the other at the end of the cable. Whats the right way to adjust the clutch cable? Or maybe someone could explain the process as if it was a new cable install and what each of the different adjustment points do.

Thanks.

Almost sounds like the cable has stretched, how old is the cable?

I have no idea, I have only had it for 2 months but the cable doesn't look old. Im pretty sure the piece that pulls the cable at the pedal shaft has been replaced and when it was it wasn't set right. So, how about some info on adjusting the the clutch cable ? The adjustment at the bracket is for? And the other 2 at the release arm are for?

The info you need can be found here.

Thanks, there's a simple little clutch install link there. I also found one on izook.  My understanding is the adjustment at the bracket is for pedal free play and the nut at the end of the cable is for release arm adjustment, to make it fully disengage when the pedal is pushed. I still don't know what the adjustment with the spring, before the release arm, is for.

Who wrote those PDF's?  That is the 1st time I have ever read one that laffs a t the person... "Hold pedal all the way down until the clutch is disengaged".... DUH... Thats a hoot...
