Re: Clutch

Unless you've purchased an aftermarket clutch master cylinder, they're not adjustable. Chances are that if the pedal doesn't feel right, you need a new clutch master cylinder and/or slave cylinder.

Re: Clutch

If it's original 82 it has a cable actuated clutch which probably is adjustable.
But, you posted in the interior section so no one saw it.
Post and research in the tranny section and you will find the answer.

Re: Clutch

It's mounted on a rod that also has the brake pedal on it.
Take a look up under the dash and see if it's missing some bushings or maybe it's a tacked on manual conversion. You should be able to see the problem.
