Re: Clutch Adjustment
Not too sure on that one Jim. I'd say mine is set at about 40-50% pedal travel from the floor. I didn't install it but I never really understood how it does both adjustment of cable slack AND pedal travel adjustment. To me, I feel like its just stretching the cable until you are satisfied with the pedal position. I think I need to stare at my bicycle brakes for a while. Anyone care to chime in on its operation? The key ideas web site is down but an archive can be accessed on the wayback machine:

Re: Clutch Adjustment
I also just SWAG'd it and aimed for an engagement point about mid-way of the pedal travel. In my case, that meant that I used up most of the adjustment range on the DG adjuster. This will vary depending on which cable you're using and how you fit it to the firewall. I'm using a Mustang cable with a modified firewall fitting, which functionally makes the cable longer.
