    The way I read the FSM you should have about 3/4" before you encounter resistance. My understanding is you need this free play to make sure the release bearing is completely disengaged

    non-scientific clutch adjustment with the cable clutch system
    disconnect adjustment end off fork
    with your hand move fork till it stops on fingers
    adjust cable end to match . now it wont slip onto fork
    undo cable at clutch pedal . attach adjuster to fork
    attach cable clevis to pedal
    one thing I have learned over the years . the cable loop needs to be secured under tub

    Just out if curiosity what kind of oil is in the trans? Just asking because I tossed some oil I had left over at work and it happened to be synthetic. Since then I get gear clash. Never had a problem before that. Been meaning to drain and refill but haven't gotten around to it yet.

    Might be someone else but I'm sure I could get one out in an hour if I tried.

    With a hoist you might be able to do in and out in 1.

    Yes, thats the most widely available, and the properly specced oil.
