How do I know if my clutch is good?

With the vehicle stopped, and in a safe place, start out in 4th gear, and slowly release the clutch while giving the engine gas.

Can you adjust your clutch pedal?

To adjust, simply pull up on the clutch cable and loosen the locknut and the adjuster nut slightly.

Your clutch pedal should now be in the optimal position.
