    High clutch pedal is a sign of a worn clutch

    There is no clutch pedal height adjustment as far as I am aware, it just pivots on and eccentric pin

    I'm pretty sure that mine cost around $320 from Land Vehicle Spares, but he said at the time he underquoted me a little.
    They'd post to vic (got brakes posted to Fraser Island)
    Considering the weightof a clutch kit though, I'd probably look local.
    Good luck, they're not too dificult to change, I did mine on the front lawn of the holidayhouse, solo.

    I had quite a few hassles doing mine, I hadn't heard of AULRO at that time
    It took me a couple of full on weekends to do, although I reckon that 1 weekend would cover it now. A couple of things to keep in mind:

    1. You will need a 450mm long extension for your socket set. The top 3 bolts for the bellhousing are accessed by taking out the centre consol, undoing the gearbox mounts and lowering the rear of the box as low as you can. (don't forget to leave the bonnet up )

    2. you need to seperate the exhaust at the centre muffler.

    3. If you drop the crossmember then you will be able to get the box further back, I didn't completely remove mine. It was more difficult to align the clutch, but easier to get the box back in.

    4. make sure you have a good trolley jack, it's easier to move the gearbox and transfer back and forth. They are damn heavy.

    As for comparing it to a 60 series cruiser, I couldn't, never done one.
    Compared to a series landy, series is so much easier, less crap to disconnect, and more room to move.
    Compared to an old kingswood, much heavier and more crap to remove.

    Good luck, let me know if you have any questions, I'll be pulling mine out this weekend, busted pivot bolt for the clutch fork. I don't know if this was due to something I did wrong when I did my clutch about 4 years ago.
