How do i adjust the clutch pedal height? how do i adjust the clutch?

The clutch pedal is much higher than the brake pedal and the clutch will not fully disengage until the pedal is on the floor. At times I am unable to shift the gears if I don't put the clutch in at the right depth (i.e. on the floor).

ADJUSTMENTS

PEDAL HEIGHT

Loosen stop bolt lock nut. Turn stop bolt so that clutch pedal is level with brake pedal. Tighten lock nut after adjusting.

CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY

If clutch pedal free play is not between .8-1.1" (20-30 mm), adjust it with clutch cable end nuts on transmission.

Loosen stop bolt locknut. Turn stop bolt to desired pedal height. Tighten locknut.
Your clutch is shown as a mechanical one with a cable. Find the clutch arm on the transmission, loosen the locknut, and adjust the adjusting bolt to the required position and tighten the locknut.
