clutch cable adjustment help

[droptopford 5 0]

after searching a bit, i just want to know which direction to turn my steeda firewall adjuster? clockwise (in) or counterclockwise(out)? after the initial setting of it the pedal would engage high, but there would be about 1/8" free play which was perfect to me since it meant the clutch was completely engaging, then as i use it, the clutch pedal engagement got higher to the point where there is no longer that play and now im afraid it might be about to slip... im hoping the adjustment is "in" since it is already a ways out just trying to get it right (im not sure the steeda adj cable AND fwa were the best match, but its what i got from 5.0 resto as they wer eout of stock with the other cable i wanted... also, should there be that slight play in the pedal to avoid the t/o bearing weraing out prematurely? or should it barely be touching?, ive heard conflicting opinions. Thanks guys, Kyle
edit: i was rushing to go watch the game so i forgot to mention, i just want to know which direction it should be turned as the clutch wears down?

To introduce more slack (to lower the point of engagement in the pedal travel), you turn the FWA CW.



Good luck.

thanks, thats what i wanted to hear, having to turn it ccw would mean i need to buy a new cable that is shorter...
what about the adjustment of it, should the pedal have that bit of slack, or should it be always under a slight tension (meaning the tob is probably barely touching)

How tight to adjust it is personal preference. The most correct way I know to do it is to have zero slack. That way the TOB face just touches the diaphram fingers.

Good luck.

Yup just what Hissin said. Also make sure when you installed the cable the FWA was turned all the way in (CW) so you could properly adjust it!
