[john walker's workshop]

you don't really need a full mm of clearance between the arms, just a bit of obvious clearance so you know the release arm is not pulling on the t/o bearing. that measurement is done first, with a relaxed clutch cable. the omega spring should now have pulled the long arm all the way back to it's stop. then pedal height/engagement position is adjusted by shortening/lengthening the cable sheath by way of the two nuts on it. just because the pedal feels easy does not mean there is a problem. new clutches feel like that. just the difference between the old binding cable and the new one can be dramatic.
