pedal
mechanism adjustment access needed.
I think he's talking about adjusting clutch pedal free =
play. As a
large-handed one myself, I can't imagine how to adjust it with the =
master
cylinder in situ. It should be possible, however. Can you =
reach
the adjustment nut by feel? You may have to do it blind.
Anyone?
BTW, why do you need to adjust it? If you're just replacing =
the MC,
you shouldn't need to adjust the clutch pedal free play (even though =
Bentley
says you do).

Hi =
Bud,
If I remember correctly =
there's
nothing to adjust on the master cylinder. If the clutch =

as it should you can
1. change the brake =
fluid and
bleed the system
2. if 1. doesn't help =
you'll need
to change the cylinder.
It's a pretty common
problem. It's the first thing I had to fix on my Syncro. =
It's an
easy job, just a bit messy with all the brake fluid running all over =
the
place...

On page 30.2 of =

an illustration of the clutch pedal
operation. I
have found it to be almost inaccessible. The adjustment =

the plunger as it activates the clutch master is what I =

Does
