there isnt any clutch adjustments. Most 5sp owners' clutches enguage at the
top.

Subject: Re: DML: 5-spd man fluid change and clutch adjustment
What a coincidence! I just had the lube changed in my NV3500 yesterday. I
have
54K miles on my 95 and I used the Mopar fluid. There is a noticeable
improvement
in shifting. Much easier and smoother engagement. I recall from previous
posts
that anyone who has tried to use any other lube (to include synthetics) has
had
major transmission problem soon afterwords. Does anyone know if there is a
free-play adustment on the clutch? I know its hydraulic, but I don't know if
there is any way to change the free-play. Thanks in advance and HAPPY NEW
YEAR
EVERYONE!!!
