Why on a 1988 Accord does your clutch slips a little when you give it the gas is it something you can adjust and how?

Usually, a manual transmission clutch slipping is caused either by oil on the clutch from a leaking rear main engine seal, or it's from a worn clutch. Honda clutches are operated with a hydraulic master/slave arrangement and as such are self-adjusting. Whether it's worn clutch or leaking rear main seal, you'll need to remove/replace the engine or transmission to get to the problem.

How do you adjust the clutch on a 1990 Mustang with 5-speed transmission?
you cannit adjust the clutch without changing to an adjustable clutch cable. b&m makes a good one with and ajustable quadrant that allows you to adjust it on your firewallNew Answeryou can adjust the clutch quadrant by pushing the pedal all of the way down and dumping it. you will hear a pop and that's the spring in the factory quadrant resetting itself. or you can also pull the pedal up as far as it will go and that will adjust it if it's a little loose.

How do you adjust a 1998 Nissan 200sx clutch?
I have replaced the the clutch cable on my '95 200sx 1.6L and it was easy. To adjust the cable go to the end of the cable where it conects to the level looking clutch arm in the engine compartment and look at where the clutch cable connects to the lever. Securing the cable on the backside of the lever there is a washer and screw that you can tighten or loosen to engage the clutch without pushing it all the way to the floor or you can adjust the other way to get the opposite affect. After I installed my clutch cable I had to go back about a week later and adjust the clutch (tighten the cable) because it appeared the cable had stretch a little from brand new to broken in condition. Hope this helps...
How do you tighten the clutch on a 94 Ford Escort?
There is no tightening. It is hydraulic and self-adjusting. If you have little or no clutch, you need a new clutch or something is wrong in the hydraulics.

you should see a little knob near the front of the engine, slightly to the left of where you put in the oil it'll be connected to a cable that goes underneath, that'll be the clutch cable, turn the knob, it will adjust the clutch, take it to a garage, they'll charge you 60-200 bucks

First you need to make sure that all the air is bleed out of the slave cyinder. Then to adjust the point at which the clutch will engage, tighten or loosen the pushrod nut. It will be near the clutch pedal on a little rod between the firewall and pedal (the pushrod).
How do you adjust the clutch on a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000 GT?
i belive the clutch adjusts automatically as its hydrolic not cable operated The clutch itself adjusts automatically, yes. However, you can adjust the pedal if your clutch is not engaging at the correct point as you press and release the pedal. Simply sit upside down in the seat (this is not as awkward as it sounds) and look at the rod that goes through the firewall connected to the clutch pedal. It will have a little nut on it that you can adjust with a wrench. That nut can work itself lose and make you feel like you have a failing clutch when really it's just the pedal.

There is no adjustment, The clutch it self is either worn out, Bad clutch slave cylinder. Air are no fluid in the clutch mastercylinder. Fill clutch master cylinder up with fluid, be sure to remove the little rubber cub that is inside of the clutch master cylinder before you fill it up, then bleed the clutch of all air. Then see if the clutch works better.

they have a cable clutch, so you will have to find where the cable connects to the motor and transmission and there will be a nut on the end of the clutch cable.....tighten the nut ...but not too much you will have to tighten a little and see if that's enough however normally it is the begining of the end when you have to do that.

95 3000gt 5-speed when driving it drives ok for about 5-10 miles and then when you try to accelerate the rpms go up but you get no acceleration flywheel and clutch are new.?
This is the clutch slipping and you need to adjust your clutch pedal!!!! Soon very Soon!!!! If you don't say good bye to your new clutch....We need about an inch of play in our pedals... before the clutch engages... My 3 did the same thing and the clutch was really firm...I just installed new clutch and flywheel etc... It was fine and the I had to adjust the pedal because it the nut was loose and the pedal stuck to the floor ... I had all fluids and no leak so it had to be the pedal.... I adjusted it to be all the way to one spectrum where you barely touch it and it changes gear... so i made it a little less firm and then a little less firm and it was fine after that....Driving it hard or just put-zing around .... Haven't had problem since..... google it and you'll find out how to adjust the pedal... This answer is granted only if everything was installed correctly....
