I have a few questions regarding the proper clutch adjustment. I have a late production 1965 Corvette equipped with the L79 engine and 4-speed. It seems to me that when engaging and disengaging the clutch all the engagement and disengagement is happening in the first 1 to 3 inches as I press down on the clutch pedal and last few inches as I release the clutch pedal. When looking at the clutch actuation rod under the hood the bell crank attachment is within the last 3/4 to 1/2 inch at the top (towards the firewall) of the clutch actuation rod. I have the assembly manual, the 1963 shop manual and both the 1964 and 1965 shop manual updates and have read the information and looked at the diagram regarding the adjustment.
What is the best way to adjust the clutch on this car? I find that I have some difficulty getting the car into 3rd gear and downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear when driving the car.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
