    Question ajusting the clutch?

    how do i ajust the clutch on my vl? it has too much free play, i did a search and found nothing.

    i know series 1 couldnt be ajusted but mine is series II im pretty sure, its got the colour coded center inserts, and its '88

    anyway, how do i ajust it and how much free play should it have?

    thanks guys/gals

    p.s. its been on my mind recently, how to G-Techs work? they dont plug in... i didnt think so how does it tell your RPM, cant be by sound cos what it you have other sounds in the car, speed is through gps yeah? i got no idea really, just curious cya.

    really? no ajusting any bolts or nuts?
    sounds like i could do that easily enough, where it the fluid container, or does the break fluid serve the clutch aswell?

    master cylinder near the brake booster. G-tech works through a mercury reading to tell you G-force. then through physics formulae determines distance over time (acceleration) through the g-force placed on it as well as top speed.

    you'll know its worn when your foots almost to the floor before the clutch disengages. and when you give it a bit changing gears and the clutch slips (engine revs but car doesn't accelerate for a moment)
