just a quickie, not very technical though. I want to try and adjust my clutch, my haynes manual tells me how, but does not say where the stop and lock nuts are?

so can someone tell me where abouts the adjustment point is please.

cheers

Well look at the clutch arm (driver side of engine) and about half way down that us a week bolt and lock nut on the cover housing.

If you mean the throw adjust then it's the big 15/16th bolt at the bottom of the arm.

First, what type of clutch do you have...

If it's a verto (clutch slave on plate over clutch cover with short actuating arm ) then it's not adjustable, the only thing you can really do is set the throw out stop and blead the hydraulics.

If it's a diaphram ( clutch slave attached to transfer case and long arm ) then there is some clutch attached adjustments associated with the arm return bolt and the throwout, and then there's also the actual flywheel/clutch setup which is adjustable ( or rather it'c setting it up correctly )

i have no idea, its a 1988 mini designer, and i don't know if it has been changed

Adjusting the throw out is a two person job... Undo (loosen) the nuts on the end of the clutch plunger.... get a colleage to depress the clutch pedal fully ( I'd suggest doing this after bleading the clutch system ) wind the flanged nut in so it's against the clutch housing... release the clutch pedal, rotate the nut another flat ( 1/6th of a turn ) and lock it off.. That's it...
