I have been "playing" with my clutch linkage to try to get the necessary travel to release and engage the clutch.
I have concluded that when the clutch is in a released position, the through out bearing arm must be adjusted in the most furtherest back position. This allows the through out bearing arm the greatest distance to travel. From there, you actually have some room - not much - but some to adjust the clutch correctly.
There is more. To get the arm as far back as possible in the furtherest released position, the adjuster needs to be adjusted with all the threads taken up and the arm's "L" position right up on the through out bearing arm. At the same time, the link between that "L" arm and the bottom of the clutch pedal, where the link attaches, needs to set so the clutch is fully released and resting in a "0" position on the back of the toe board. From there you can begin adjusting to the specs we all know, i. e., releasing from the toe board at the standard distance.
In the case of my truck with a fairly new clutch in it, the adjustment above is the correct adjustment. Once I set the clutch up described above, it work perfect.
The process is a matter of geometry. I just had to lay on the creeper and study it for awhile before "I got it". It's not hard, but can be frustating.
