Too much clutch pedal free play can lead to insufficient engagement of the clutch, resulting in difficulty shifting gears and potential damage to the transmission. It may also cause the clutch to slip, which can lead to increased wear and overheating. Additionally, excessive free play can affect the overall performance of the clutch system, leading to poor driving experience and potential safety issues.

Pedal travel on a clutch how to adjust?
Depends on what vehicle you are working on. Rule of thumb is 1" free play, but it may be different on your vehicle. Normally the clutch master cylinder has an actuator rod that connects to the clutch pedal. This rod has a lock nut on it. Loosen this nut and turn the rod to lengthen or shorten the pedal free play. Some clutches are self adjusting. The free play must be adjusted so the clutch will fully release but not so much as to cause it to slip.

For a manual transmission will the clutch wear faster if you go down a hill on neutral?
No, it will not wear the clutch faster That is a VERY unsafe driving practice. By putting the car's transmission into neutral, while going down a hill, you are now relying 100 percent on the car's brakes to slow and stop the car. This is very dangerous. The much safer way to do this is..........downshift to second gear and use the engine and the gears to slow down, while "covering the brake pedal" with your left foot, in case you need to stop rapidly. With a manual transmission, when you put it in neutral, you have dis-connected the engine from the drive wheels. The clutch pedal and the clutch plate are the parts that allow you to change gears without grinding them. Excessive clutch plate wear comes from "riding the clutch pedal" with your left foot, while driving along. Doing that partially engages the clutch plate, and makes it wear out rapidly. You should take your left foot completely OFF the clutch pedal when NOT shifting gears, and place it on the floor, away from the pedal.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on a 1995 suzuki sidekick jx 16valve?
Hold the end of the treaded rod (where it connects to the actual cable) with a pair of vicegrips - this to stop it from turning when tightening the nut. Yes the nut gets tightened to the point that the lever going into the clutch can be moved easily for about 3-4 mm (1/8-5/32") of travel. This 'free play is important - without the freeplay the clutch will wear out in no time at all. Too much free play will cause the clutch not to engage fully and cause the gears to grind etc.
