While facing the firewall when i adjust the cable on the firewall adjuster and turn it left,if i turn it too much will it expand or stretch. I'm asking cause i turned it quite alot to the left adjust my clutch and i think my pedal feels a bit harder. Is it too tight?? Also which way does what,left or right to adjust pedal height,i did it once but i forgot which way was does what.

Facing the firewall and turning:

Turning the FWA CW= adding more slack into the cable. This equates to a lower point of engagement.

Turning the FWA CCW = Removing slack from the cable. This equates to a higher point of enagement.

IF you turn it too far CCW, you remove all the freeplay and start to preload the cable. It will feel harder.
I try to set the cable at zero lash (meaning no slack and no preload)..

Good luck.
