Hello, I have an '85 Westy. I've recently got it running, and driving. Where should the clutch pedal engage? I'd like to think it should start to grab about half way through it's travel. Mine grabs very near the top of it's travel. The Bently manual doesn't refer to any adjustments. I did find a mention of a linkage near the master cylinder in the archives: > Sounds like you have a linkage problem to me - same problem I had > fixed by adjusting the master cylinder "pushrod."

Should I do anything, or just drive it? Thanks, Dan Brideau |
