Some indications you need to have the fan clutch replaced are an engine that overheats and too much play in the clutch fan. Another clue is if the fan blade freezes up or if the thermal spring is loose or worn out.

If your clutch is properly adjusted and your clutch brake doesn't engage, then your clutch brake is worn, and needs to be replaced. If you don't have 1.5 to 2 inches of free play in your clutch (this goes for both pull- and push-type), then you need to make that adjustment first and see if that rectifies the problem.

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.

turn screw or thumb nut in or out until there is only a small amount of play in clutch lever when siting in rest position. pull handle it should move just a little befoe cable moves if this doesn't work you my have to take out the play at the lower adjustment at lower clutch lever. there should always be a little play this tells you your clutch is fully ingaged when handle is released

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.
Clutch free play is crucial because it ensures that there is a small amount of disengagement between the clutch pedal and the clutch mechanism, allowing for smooth operation and preventing premature wear. It helps avoid excessive wear on the clutch components, enhances shifting performance, and prevents the clutch from dragging, which can lead to overheating and damage. Proper free play also contributes to driver comfort and control by providing a clear engagement point for the clutch.
You can adjust the clutch pedal free play but not the clutch itself.
