Remember, there are Technical Service Bulletins that SUPERSEDE procedures

in the manual (and sometime in previous TSBs).  If you don't have these,

they are a must (Order from POCA store, or Gary Hall).  TSB No. 10, Article

88 explains the latest settings.  The picture shows the adjustment stop

screw still in place and indicates a clearance of .102" to .106".   As I

explained before, I like to set mine closer (more clutch disengagement),

but this require more frequent checking to insure that it hasn't gone to 0"

(throwout bearing riding on clutch fingers - quick fry of bearing).
