I still think me cable is worn. This is a brand new clutch and i know that the Adjuster moving out shortens the cable. As the clutch wears you need a shorter cable, not a longer cable.
From my understanding, my cable is stretched..... i will prove Bob wrong when i get a new cable and the adjuster is back inside the firewall where it should be.
You still have this backward. As the clutch wears you need a _longer_ cable. Again, look underneath the car at the clutch fork on a new clutch. The fork will be relatively close to the front of its travel. Is the clutch disk wears, the pressure plate has to move closer to the flywheel to take up that slack, and that causes the release fingers (which are levers pinned underneath the pressure plate cover) to move away from the flywheel. This makes the throwout bearing have to move farther back to fully engage the clutch. And to move the throwout bearing back, the clutch fork has to go back farther. Hence the need for a longer cable. So as the clutch wears, the cable has to lengthen, or your take-up point will get higher and higher, to the point where the clutch will not fully engage and start to slip. Lengthen the cable solves this.
trust me, your cable sounds fine. Stop by and ask anyone that actually works on these things how it works before buying something that you don't need. Several in this thread simply don't have a clue. It works _exactly_ as I have explained. Do a google search and you can find some good videos that show how this goes clearly and understandably...
If you really want to buy a new cable, go for it. But don't be surprised when nothing changes except that your wallet is 80-90 bucks lighter.
And you are not going to prove me wrong, any more than you can prove that the motor will run with the spark plugs installed upside down. There's no doubt on this issue, absolutely none. we just adjusted ours again this afternoon after a trip to the strip last night. I keep about 1" of freeplay at the top of the clutch pedal travel, and when it goes away, which signals some wear has occurred, we _lengthen_ the cable to get it back to the original take-up point about 1/2 way off the floor or so...
Be waiting on your report, so we can close this silly thread...
BTW, if, after the new cable, your adjuster has to be screwed all the way in to get proper clutch function, you are going to be so far beyond screwed, it will take sunlight six months to get from screwed to where you are. Because you have _zero_ adjustment left as the clutch wears... The adjuster has to go _in_ as the clutch wears, not out.
