Default 915 clutch pedal travel…

I have a 1985 cab, not quite 80K miles. Clutch works fine, but it feels like I have to let the pedal out further than I used to for it to engage. Not a lot more, but enough to notice. How much travel should there be before the clutch engages? Is the additonal pedal travel indicative of wear? Is there an adjustment I should make?

Thanks!

The further out it bites, the sooner you will need to replace it. Always a tell on a clutch that is at the end of it's life.

This is a pretty simple procedure that you should try first:

25.4 mm on cable i believe. that is the reference. Where it activates is somewhat adjustable.
