This much I think I understand. 'Free movement' is the distance the pedal has to be depressed before the release bearing makes contact with the fingers ('clutch release levers'). As the friction plate wears the fingers rise up and get closer to the bearing and the clutch pedal operating rod has to be adjusted to maintain the proper free movement. The manual states as clearly as it states anything that the rod has to be lengthened to increase the free movement. A previous post discusses a problem someone was having with too much free movement, that is, he had to depress the pedal all the way and it still did not completely release the clutch. He was told repeatedly and clearly to shorten the operating rod. That fits perfectly with the instructions in the manual. Here's the part I don't get: Mine doesn't work like that. My H got a new friction plate just before I got it, but the pedal was not adjusted. The rod that connects the clutch pedal to the shakt on the side of the housing is still near full extention. As you would expect there is too much free movement and the pedal has to depress all the way to make the clutch let go. If I shorten the operating rod that increases the distance the pedal has to be pressed to get the same movement of the release bearing. If I shorten it very much at all the entire range of movement of the pedal becomes 'free movement' and the release bearing never touches the fingers. I know this part because I just tried. I had to increase the length of the rod to get it to release. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out how these things work, but the longer I look at it this less sense the instructions make.
