Sutty2006 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I’ve looked through the Haynes book of lies, and the cable side is listed but not the pivot side. I have a new clutch fitted so need to get the pivot end adjusted. If there is a figure, I need to know where to/from for taking the measurements.

Sutty2006 Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Do I not need to adjust the other side? The lock nut and screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Yes you do, the screw is a square one. thought a shortened 8mm fits, long ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-400 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just checked it in my garage: The screw is indeed 8 mm, the locknut is 19mm. I use a "banana key" on the lock nut: Not sure what this key is in English 😁, if you don't have one a socket with a few extensions will do the job also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-400 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 You have to unblock the locknut and turn the centre screw, this will pivot the lever on the other side until the size "X" is 109mm (or 120 for a 9 " clutch). The size "X" is measured from the front of the bellhouse till the back side of the lever: This is my 240 5-speed, identical procedure as the older 4-speed. When there's no tension on the lever cause no cable you'v got to push some tension on the lever to the engine. After that you'v got to set the cable to fix the position of the clutchpedal.

Sutty2006 Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 I think I understand now. Loosen the lock nut on the opposite side and adjust the screw to get 109mm. Now it makes sense. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 I measured that at 104mm. I have been able to adjust it up to 107mm but don’t want to go any further as I am running out of thread on the adjuster screw. so for now, I’ll try it when I next get the engine running and a seat in place.

H-400 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Hi Steve, just back from a long weekend with the 400Club, sorry for the late respons... You 'v got to measure from the front of the bellhouse till the BACK of the lever, see: Succes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 I’ll give it a go tomorrow night. It’s quite hard to get the internal measurement (from the the other side) as the end of the fork is a funny shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 this is the opel clutch tool km-330, one side is 109mm and the other side 120mm. Easy to copy in plastic or cardboard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 the picture makes it look more complicated than it is. the tool( or tape measure) just measures from bellhousing edge to inner edge of the lever at the bottom ( not up at the top as the picture seems to show) the tool just hooks into the gap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
