No free travel is between the rest position of the pedal to the point where it actually starts operating the clutch. The part before the pedal has
much resistance.
Not enough and the clutch will be riding the thrust bearing all the time and if you suddenly have too much the cable is usually about to break
(stretched) or the clutch fork has bent etc. you wont be able to engage the clutch fully hence crunching gears.
testing 1 2 3...

hi deon did that fix the problem?
my bug has lost 4th. I can still use 1 to 3, but when I select 4th it is the same as neutral. there is nothing there! simply disappeared
anybody know what it could be? I've checked the linkage underneath the rear seat, not that. I hope it's something simple, my uni budget is at $0 and
now the car's dead!
speeding is bad!
relax - god's in charge
