Kens right, if its american made its pre adjusted, dont touch unless you want to pull trans and every thing again

So, if I buy a clutch and the 3 fingers are at 3 different heights, what do I do?

quick answer, send it back, you already have a major problem, one that you probably cant correct, if you dont have experience adjusting them chances are you will never get it right, i repeat, send it back and buy one that is american made or rebuilt, same with clutches, if foriegn made its probably to thick and will never work right
