[dubdubz]

ok will do UNDO

where is the biting point normally? I've had the bus of the road that long I can't remember!!

you should push the pedal about 20mm before feeling some resistance biting point will be about another 20mm after that , i know as i did mine last saturday

mmm

the clutch is really light = all components are new

the clutch pedal moves about 20mm then the bite just feels really high - I'm going there now

so I'm clear in my own head - what does the tightening do in terms of clutch biting point?? clutch operation??

cheers

this is doing my head in!

it moves the biting point higher up the pedal slacking will lower the biting point , go for a spin round the block after adjusting it will see how it feels , backwards and forwards on the drive doesnt give you the right feel

hope this helps

awesome thanks chap

I adjusted it out 4 turns - and it's a shade too low now - so 1 1/2 tighter should be spot on - my van thanks you
