I've got a MM adjustable clutch quadrant. How do you adjust it exactly? I put in a new (and properly aligned) clutch and resurfaced the flywheel last summer, yet it still shudders a little bit.

My ABS light is always on, could it be the sensor on the hub?

Also, gas pedal is sticky when I just start to push on it. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying when taking off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Wade, unless I need more caffeine, the ABS light should not be related to your clutch.
The adjustable (if by adjustable you mean a multi-hook) quadrants are not really designed to tailor clutch pedal height so much as to dial in adjustment. MM sells a gizmo that does move the clutch pedal a hair; it's sole purpose is to adjust the height for better geometry.

Anyhow, On most multihook quads, one hook is a decoration (they are added to get around the patent on two hook quads). Chances are if you have a non-adjustable cable, you won't be able to use the other hook if you're dialed-in the first hook (there's normally not that much range of adjustment).

If the clutch is fully disengaging, the shudder should not be from the adjustment (a slipping clutch can cause glazing and hot spots, which = slippage/shuddering). If you installed an organic disk and there have not been a ton of miles put on it yet, they can shudder. I have a method of deglazing clutches but I wont post it. Otherwise, shuddering can be an imbalance issue, missing flywheel dowels, etc.

For the gas pedal: pop the hook and try to open the throttle by hand. I bet it sticks at first. The idle stop is probably turned in a hair too far (been there and done that).

Good luck bud.
