Conventional clutch guys - where do you keep the release point in your pedal?

Why do we keep renewing year old threads???

The "release point" . Don't adjust the pedal release. There could be a chance the through bearing may ride on the pressure plate fingers and you will never know it until the bearing seizes and ruin's the pressure plate fingers. Been there, done that. I had always heard that an inch or two free play at the top of the travel is good. Nope! I have preached, look down below and adjust the air gap between the bearing and PP fingers. 3/16" is about perfect.

As previously cut and pasted herein, the FSM has that exact procedure.
