How do you adjust the clutch on a Jeep YJ?

How do you adjust the clutch on a Jeep Wrangler?

1. Fill the clutch master cylinder’s reservoir with brake fluid.

How do you check clutch adjustment?

To adjust, simply pull up on the clutch cable and loosen the locknut and the adjuster nut slightly. Next, slowly pull up on the clutch cable again. You will feel a point where the clutch fork engages. This is where the clutch cable should be adjusted to.

Does a new clutch change the biting point?

The biting point on the clutch pedal may not get much better, but it should come up some, though. With that, it’s more than likely you will have to get used to it being a tad different than it was before, but that will become much easier with use and muscle memory.

Do you need to find the biting point every time you change gear?

To change gears, you need to press down the clutch and move the gear stick into the desired gear. Once you’ve changed gear, pull your foot slowly off the clutch while pressing the accelerator. If you’re pulling away, you’ll need to find the biting point so that you don’t stall.

What does the bite point feel like?

You’ll hear the engine make a slightly different sound due to the revs dropping and you’ll also see the rev counter needle drop a little. Also if you look at the front of the car, you’ll also see it ‘lift’ up a tiny amount (sometimes you can actually feel that little lift too) when at the bite point.

Can you find the biting point without gas?

If you really know what you are doing, it’s up to you whether or not you set the gas or not. Most modern cars – petrol or diesel – will move off without it, but not very quickly. However, you need gas to move off briskly no matter what type of car you’re driving, and that includes automatics as well as diesels.

Is it clutch then gas or gas then clutch?

If you don’t press the gas pedal in any modern car then it will sense this as soon as you lift the clutch pedal and do the gas for you. This is where the misunderstanding comes from. People who say it’s clutch then gas are actually doing gas then clutch themselves; they just don’t know it!

Is clutch before gas?

Nope. If you don’t do it, you will lurch and then stall. Give it a good amount of gas- regulate the engagement w/the clutch. The only time you are going to just release the clutch only is on vehicles with lots of low end torque such as a diesel.
