clutch problem

[derrickmd18 at verizon.net (Derrick flo)]

o ok.  I don't have a manual adjust clutch cable.  mine is self adjustable.
I had it on there without the bushing and hardware on a 4K tranny.  I
replaced the trans with a ACD and added the bushing and hardware kit so I
might have messed it up with me driving it with only the clip on it.

> 3. Adjust freeplay by turning the adjusting disc until the clearance
between the adjusting disc and the transaxle housing is 12.0+/-0.3mm
(.472+/-0.12in.)
> 4. Tighten the cable locknut.  Freeplay at the clutch release lever should
now be 6.0+/-0.3mm (.236+/-.012in.)  Torque the locknut to 36 to 48in. lb.
