[Amc-list] Slipping clutch, adjustable? Or transmission shop time?

["Bruce Griffis" <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I've noticed the clutch slipping a little bit from time to time.
Mainly when shifting into second and hitting a steep hill
(downshifting form third into second to get into our neighborhood). My
son took the car to work today, and noticed a lot more slipping when
driving it in stop and go traffic.

I think we discussed this before, and the clutch adjusts
automatically, and there is only maybe 1/2" worth of adjustment that
can be done. Correct me if I'm wrong. If the clutch is adjustable, how
do I do that? I'd like to see if that helps, before wandering off to a
transmission shop.

I'm thinking there is no adjustment, as the TSM states "No adjustment
for wear is provided in the clutch itself." Does that mean what I
think it means? As in I can not address a high clutch pedal and a
slipping clutch with simple adjustments?

My car is a '65 American with the T96 manual transmission.
