CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT?

[georgeo]

Is the clutch adjustable on the 3.0? if so how do you get to it?

no, but you can bleed it, usually does the trick, unfortunatly the slave cylinder youd like to get to is inside the bellhousing

Thanks for info. 1. How and where can you bleed it?
2. What trick should it do?
3. Just looking for a little extra free play on pedal?

Hydraulically operated clutches are self-adjusting, so unless you have air in the system bleeding is a waste of time.

Of course that statement makes the assumption that the clutch has been bled in the last year and whoever did it used non hydroscopic fluid. I think bleeding the clutch is part of the normal noble 24K 2 year service schedule.

Thanks for info. 1. Where can you bleed it from?
2. What symptom do you have when it requires bleeding?

From memory, the bleed nipple is at about 9 oclock if you are looking at the bell housing from the nearside rear. Pretty much facing the bulkhead. Bit of a pig to get to, but with someone else on the clutch pedal, it#s not a bad job.
My clutch was biting close to the floor and I bled about 1/2 a litre through and it did make a big difference.

Shortly after tho, the diff died, so new clutch, master cylinder, flywheel and it was all done properly by Noblemotorsport with a new clutch. Not the way to fix your problem if you can avoid it.
