Clutch adjustment?
I've put my engine back in, used the same clutch I had when I pulled the engine, have adjusted the clutch cable. But now when the engine turns over, the rear wheels turn (it's up on jacks). I check it's not in gear, when I push in the clutch they stop. Do I just adjust the clutch cable nut by the flywheel. I just want to make sure this isn't a sign of something worse.

Re: Clutch adjustment?
It is just gear oil drag. Do not worry. Take car off jacks and drive it. Clutch free-play should be 1" at pedal.chitwnvw wrote:I've put my engine back in, used the same clutch I had when I pulled the engine, have adjusted the clutch cable.
