I agree with CobraEd .... you measure clutch free play from the top ... not from the floor up .
Have you jacked the car`s rear end off the ground and checked to see if there is any clutch dragging ?? Easy thing to check and you can do it by hand by turning the rear wheel as you push the clutch in . If dragging , you should be able to hear it as the disc contacts the flywheel . Also , if you have a diagram clutch , you can have too much travel and push the fingers over center .
That`s the way Tilton says to set their HTOB .... push the pedal in until there is no drag and then 1/4" more to set the pedal stop . Hope thi s makes sense as the Oxycodone is finally starting to work .
