If we're talking about the same thing it's a pin 2 or 3 inches long between the slave cyl and the clutch fork. It's not adjustable but can be removed by removing the 2 bolts holding the slave to the bellhousing.

I'm assuming you are talking about the push rod that sits between the slave cylinder piston and the clutch fork.

Is this for the '88 in your profile? You would need to remove the slave cylinder for access to it. It is not adjustable.

Why do you ask? Is your clutch not engaging / disengaging properly?

Yes, I am referring to my 88. My clutch is engaging and disengaging fine. There is a loud clunk noise that happens occasionally when the clutch is fully engaged. It almost seems that the pedal requires lube or adjustment, but what made me think it was the pin was the fact that the noise is twice as loud from outside the car. The other thing with this is I can't always duplicate it. Somtimes it does it, sometimes not. Engine and outside temperature have nothing to do with it. It's just driving me crazy and I know that if I take it to a dealer they'll tell me the car is 18 years old and operates fine.
