Clutch issue

Dave, I'm glad you brought this up. The rod on mine is around 6 1/2" long. I adjusted the nut to get the most length , took a test drive and the clutch started binding up when I pushed the pedal down. I jacked it up to check it out and like you said

"Also if you adjust too much you can bottom the back sides of the fingers into the disc hub which could damage them. "

So I backed it off some and now it shifts and disengages ok, just the pedal only comes up about 1/2 way and keeps the throw out bearing on the fingers. Pull the pedal up and there is about 3/8 - 1/2 " clearance there.
