Adjusting Clutch Biting Point

[Robbie G 4]

Just a quicky, which way do I turn the nuts on the clutch cable in order to lower the biting point (make it bite with the pedal nearer the floor)?

[Rob_the_Sparky 10]

You need to lengthen the cable.

[Robbie G 4]

So turn the nuts anti-clockwise yeah?

[Rob_the_Sparky 10]

Yeah

 

You won't do any harm so play until it feels right but remember to lock them together when you finish - don't want them to fall off...

Thanks. I was getting major clutch slippage yesterday, partly heat and partly worn clutch probably but need it to last a little longer!

So turn the nuts anti-clockwise yeah?

Rob yeah thats correct

 

id have done the same but mine was at the end of the thread

 

 

so new clutch is in £211.50 inc vat fitted

 

and all done

Slackening the cable should make no difference to a slipping clutch as the more you tighten it the more the pedal rises, it doesn't hit and end stop (thus keeping pressure on the clutch) until the pedal is so high it is almost impossible to use...
