Cheers - Yes the travel is well more than 3" as a matter of fact - look closely at the photo under the word adjustment and you can see the lever stop travel lug is broken off [ LH side only]Do you have the specified 3'' of free travel at the tip of the clutch release handle?? Begin backing off the left hand adjustment until you do, and it is likely all will be well.

Hi Team,
thanks to BruceOZ, this link should help you find the adjustment procedure.
Be aware that as the clutch wears the adjusted clearance reduces until such time as the clutch can slip when the clearance is gone plus a bit more wear--this is not good for the throw out/release bearing either as it is running under load constantly when the machine is moving.

The link Eddie posted is for a D4, not a D2. The procedure described on page 84 of the link is opposite of that for a D2. On a D2, you back off the adjuster towards center to restore free play.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
