    There is a black slotted knob at the clutch cable bracket on the tranny housing. Now you should have a small rubber lock tab at the bottom of that knob.

    Depress the lock tab rotate the knob clockwise to tighten until you have about a 1/4 inch of play.

    If you don't have the rubber locking tab at the bottom of that knob, the adjustment won't stay after you engage the clich pedal a few times you will loose the adjustment.

    like messy said when cold or you well have a burnt arm. Down is tighten and up to loosen. so if your knob is in the middle or even 3/4 to the top go half and try it. an so on.
