you want to make the rod longer. so screwing it so the distance becomes more making it longer should give you more pedal.

Good evening Hot_Roder09,

Just like Fordman says, you'll want to make it longer.

In some Bumpsides, even with that rod at its most extended setting, it still won't be long enough to get the clutch adjusted to within spec'. So NAPA sells a significantly longer clutch push-rod that solves this problem, if you run in to that.

Here's the thread will all the info on that part:

Short clutch release rod: how can I find/make a longer one?

I also asked about the ideal clutch adjustment and received some great replies; maybe this would interest you too.

Clutch adjustment: 1-1.5" of pedal play or 1/8" fork play?
