Hey guys

Sorrry for so many somewhat silly questions,
What's a serria 1.3 clutch suppose to feel like, mine feels like it's got a lot of travel and then it bites at the end of its travel if that makes sense, can't feel it slipping or anything. Is that just normal for a serria

It will be a cable set-up so you can adjust it to make it grab lower to the floor.

Welcome to owning some of the best car types out there, old school none of the fancy eletric rubbish in new cars just old fashed stuff where you can turn into a submarine if your engine is sealed tight and you have a decent snorkal set up going (could do this and it would look neat http://www.auszookers.com/forum/viewtop ... 27&p=84637 ).

i will mess with the clutch cable some more, someone was saying that if the old owner installed a HD clutch then that could also explain why it bites high. might end up swapping it back to oem clutch at some stage if thats the case.

The lever that the cable acts on, is held to the clutch fork shaft with a pinch bolt on a spline - this can be removed & moved around a spline or 2 to adjust travel as well.
