My dad just adjusted his clutch, 94 toyota corolla, hydraulic clutch. He set it so as soon as you press the pedal it makes contact immediately. I always thought you need a little freeplay, because in the manual it says freeplay should be within something like 1/4th of an inch and 3/4 of an inch?
Can anyone clear this up for me?

it needs free play, otherwise the throw out bearing may be slightly engaged all the time and it will wear out quickly.

almost every throw out bearing needs freeplay to avoid turning the bearing all the time. But there are throwout bearings in some types of cars that need no freeplay, in other words they turn all the time. These are rare in the extreme and if memory serves, they are on some specialty racing transmissions. In the application you have, the freeplay is most certainly needed.

Free play is necessary to keep the throwout bearing from riding on the tangs of the clutch. If there's no free play your throwout bearing will wear out prematurely!

you are right and your dad is wrong, you have to have a little play or you will be wearing your clutch out.

you may alter the grasp. If it a hydraulic grasp then you definitely will bleed the gadget basically s you do brakes. no remember if it is cable or rod form you may alter the cable length with the nut on the tip of the cable or rod.
