Clutch adjustment ?

I have a 1989 W250 4wd. Is there a way to adjust the clutch? It is difficult to shift and doesn't seem to disengage the clutch completely? Perhaps the clutch hydraulics need to be replaced?

i just tore apart my setup and it dosent look like their is an adjustment. i do know their should be a plastic bushing on the end of your slave cylinder you might want to check that. heard that might cause problems.

The bushing between the pedal and master cylinder pushrod wears out. If your clutch pedal is lower than your brake pedal, that is your problem.

If your input shaft is not rotating freely inside of the flywheel, it will be hard-er to shift as you described. Do you have the input shaft bearing or brozne stock bushing.
