Folks: I am starting to believe that performing the clutch pedal adjustment shown in the video will increase the life of the throwout bearing. This is how.
1. The current clutch travel is more than what is needed to release the clutch
2. This increases the finger spring deflection more than necessary for clutch actuation
3. The higher the spring deflection the higher the force
4. The force is taken by the bearing. So with the engine spinning at the same speed the bearing has to dissipate more heat due to additional friction from additional force.
So by adjusting the clutch we are effectively reducing the movement of the slave cylinder and hence the throwout bearing and if done right we can find the right balance. If there is too less of movement we are burning up the clutch disk and if there is too much movement we are burning up the throwout bearing.
As always I want to know what you folks think.
