I HAVE ADJUSTED AS FAR AS I CAN GO BUT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH THREAD LEFT ON THE ADJUSTMENT, NEW CLUTCH & CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING FITTED, BUT STILL HAVE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT LEVER ARM IS COMING UP TOO FAR! ANY HELP?

[richandhazel]

If the lever arm is coming up too far then something is wrong.  
How far does the lever arm come up before the pushrod contacts the clutch plate?
I have just fitted my gearbox and my lever arm is reaching the horizontal position and then it stops due to the push rod hitting the clutch plate...........thats about right.

I THINK I AM MISSING MAYBE A THICK RUBBER BUSH UNDER THE LEVER TO BRING UP THE SLACK!!??.
LEVER IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE HORIZONTAL
