Default over adjusting ?

i took your advice and tried adjusting my clutch so that it didnt grind going into reverse, i only had 1 more thred i could adjust, but it worked. and then i got thinking, can you over adjust a clutch? and if you did what would it do. would it just wear out your throwout beraing fast, or can it cause clutch damage? thanks for the help :party:

Yes you can over adjust.. You need (must have) free play at the top of the pedal or you will prematurally wear out the throw out bearing and the clutch will slip leading to early failure and posible flywheel damage.
