I am just trying to figure out whether or not I need to look at replacing a clutch in the near future. Do you lengthen the rod to adjust for wear or shorten it? As I understand it, as the clutch plate wears, the fingers protrude out from the clutch futher, which begins to decrease the distance between the throw-out bearing and the fingers and decrease the pedal free-play. When they touch, the throw-out bearing begins to hold the clutch part way engaged, leading to slippage. The clutch originally had a half inch more freeplay than it was supposed to, so I lengthened the rod some, which decreased the free play. Am I correct in assuming that you shorten the rod to adjust for friction disc wear? Thanks.
