If I adjust clutch pedal to 1" free play I get scraping noise when pressed all the way. Assume fingers touching flywheel?
It was set to 1 1/4 and these was more than normal gear clashing when putting into gear.
So I set it to 1 1/8 and seems good.
Why would it scrape at 1" (normal spec)?

Re: Clutch noise after adjustment
the noise is the bearing retainer hitting the clutch fingers, 1 1/8 is the good number to use, check the wear of the graphite bearing also

Re: Clutch noise after adjustment
Hi,
Below is a post I wrote on, with a pic of a new throwout bearing, and clutch adjustment info.
The graphite sticks out of a new throwout bearing 5/16". The graphite can wear down from use. If it is worn down near the metal of the bearing, the metal can hit the pressure plate fingers.

Re: Clutch noise after adjustment
As Glen says, and the other thing that can cause your issue is pressure plate fingers that are adjusted too low. If all is well at 1 1/8" free travel, I probably would let it ride.

Re: Clutch noise after adjustment
I don’t know if it has something to do with the type of clutch it has or not, but my 50 has the Auburn clutch and I have to adjust it like is mentioned here. If I take it to an inch, it clashes with something.
But, it doesn’t slip at 1 1/8”, so I put it back there and left it.
