My question is whether this is a minimum and more is ok or is this where it should be(no more or less)? Presently, I have 1" free travel at the pedal, but the clutch clearance is more than .040", probably around .060-.070". Brand new McLeod clutch and don't want to mess it up!

I like a good positive stop on the floor so you don't push it too far Gus 8346468-rearviewsavoy.jpg (275 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

So,is 1" pedal free-play where I want to be? No, .060" plate departure is where you want to be, pedal free play will be whatever it is. That's the least important issue. As long as there is any free play you are ok. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
