I got an 84 FWD GL Wagon 1800 OHV and I need to adjust the clutch properly. I see that in the book it calls for 10-20MM of free play in the cable. So does this mean 10-20MM before it starts to move the clutch lever, or does it mean 10-20MM of complete freeplay before the cable begins to get taut?

Good luck! My Haynes and Chiltons say different things and niether really make much sense.

I gave up with book numbers too, for cable. I ended up leaving clutch seemingly, hardly disengaging, to assure myself of true seat.Its feel will change going through seasons where I live (extreme) .bizarre quirk....

make all clutch adjustments before the hill holdr adjustment. majke sure the hill holder is not too tight to begin with

 

anyway. i tighten the nut by hand till it takes the slop out of the fork. then a turn or 2 to set my pedal where its comfortable

 

you want your pedal to engage right off the floor, not way up at the dash
