CLUTCH PEDAL

[paul1969cars]

Hi

Just put in stock style borg clutch and I maintained the spring as well under the dash.
The clutch doesn't return all the way back up. Car shifts great just clutch pedal issue
And i do have the cutch spring on fork as well.

How to adjust?

Set your freeplay properly. Currently your throwout bearing is too far from the pressure plate

Attached is schematic. See where i indicated in red arrow. I assume this is the adjustment.

What's happening is the Over Center spring for the pedal is releasing pressure from the spring load of the plate and allowing slip.

It need to be adjusted properly to have the OC spring pull the pedal to the up stop.

That spring works in both directions.
It helps your leg release the disc and also pulls the pedal up once past its "center" position.

Hold the clutch fork back with your hand and with the other turn the nut out until you have about 3/16 of slop between fork end and push rod nut. That should give you about 1" of play at the pedal and it should make it come all the way up.
