How To: Clutch Adjustment MPS 6

[foxy]

Going from memory, about 3 turns on the stop bolt. It brought it more or less level with the brake pedal. The push rod adjustment is fiddly because of where it is. This is where a 10 year old child is invaluable. The adjustment on the push rod is much smaller than the stop bolt. The important thing is to make sure that the pedal, at rest, is not pushing the push rod otherwise you will wear the clutch. The amount of free play should be tiny (pubic hair). Basically, if you can move the push rod sideways slightly then it is not hard up against the pedal. If you can't, then the pedal is pushing.
It is definitely a question of "trial and error". As soon as you have got it feeling right in terms of the operating arc, like any other car, check for no clutch slip or clutch drag.
Best of luck, makes it much better.

I moved mine in 2 full turns and that seemed to work good for my car

Seems to me that having a clutch that is "un-girlfriend friendly" is possibly a good thing.

BTW, I have an '05 model with original clutch and don't mind it at all. It's short and sharp and that's the way I like it. And without wishing to appear supercilious, I dunno how people can stall a motor with it, unless they aren't really aware of what's going on.

Clutch free-play adjustment would normally be undertaken at prescribed service intervals anyway, unless some folks are not following their service handbooks.

Well I think I've gotten it pretty good now. For those of us more technical is there anyway to know if you have reduced it too much?(clutch not fully disengaging) Short of grinding when you change gear is there anything we should be looking out for?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but is there a "How to" for adjusting the clutch on a MPS 3 ?
I tried the search but to no avail. Is it the same as a MPS 6 ?
Cheers
