ABSTRACT:
A method of adjusting a nose portion of a clutch lever includes providing a pair of lever mounting brackets on a clutch cover. The mounting brackets, which control pivotal movement of the tail portion of the lever, have ears which are angularly displaced by a fastener to effect adjustment of the nose portion to a desired position relative to the clutch cover. This procedure permits the use of relatively common hardware without requiring additional expensive or cumbersome apparatus. In one preferred form, the adjustment technique utilized a five inch lever, and provided approximately 0.090 thousandths of an inch of adjustment of the nose end of the lever, with an associated angular displacement of the clutch bracket ears of only 2-5 degrees.
