Operating clearance of the clutch is typically measured at the clutch release fork or the clutch pedal. It is the distance between the clutch release bearing and the pressure plate when the pedal is fully released. This measurement ensures that there is enough clearance for the clutch to engage and disengage properly without causing excessive wear or slippage. Proper adjustment of this clearance is crucial for optimal clutch performance.
Operating clearance on a clutch can typically be measured at the clutch release mechanism, which is often located near the clutch pedal or the bell housing. It is the distance between the clutch release bearing and the pressure plate when the clutch is disengaged. This measurement ensures proper engagement and disengagement of the clutch, preventing issues like slippage or difficulty in shifting gears. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the correct clearance values.
At the clutch plate and the pressure plate.
If there were no operating clearance the clutch release bearing would constantly be in contact with the spring diaphragm causing wear on both the diaphragm and the bearing itself, also the bearing pushing on the diaphragm could cause the clutch friction plate to not be fully engaged and slip.

in order to prevent continuous rotation of the release bearing. This prevents premature wear of the bearing. To ensure that the full spring pressure and clamping force is applied at the clutch contact faces. This prevents clutch slip.
Valve clearance is .008 in at normal operating temperature.
The 1980 Camaro does not have a clutch adjustment. If the clutch is not operating right, then there is something in the clutch system that is failing.
You would measure the release bearing clearance at various points to ensure proper engagement. The spring diaphragm would be measured at the fingers to gauge its condition and effectiveness in disengaging the clutch.
Insufficient clutch pedal clearance can lead to incomplete disengagement of the clutch, causing difficulty in shifting gears and potential grinding noises. This condition may also cause premature wear of the clutch components, overheating, and increased stress on the clutch release mechanism. Ultimately, it can result in diminished vehicle performance and may require costly repairs if not addressed promptly.

sounds like clutch slip, though mileage seems low, is there any clearance on the clutch cable?
If the clutch is operating normally, there is no need to replace clutch plates. If the clutch is slipping and cable or hydraulic operating method is working correctly, oil is of the correct grade and in good order & clutch springs are within manufacturers tolerances, the probable cause would be worn clutch plates. Measure both friction plates and steel plates to determine whether just friction plates can be replaced & dont forget to soak new friction plates in oil before fitting. Unless you know what you are doing and have the corect tools, I would suggest it is a job for a motorcycle dealer (such as ourselves - www.aprilia-merseyside.com)
