Hello All,
I'm putting my pressure plate back together and am trying to make sense of the instructions for the clutch lever adjustment (aka Clutch Finger Height Adjustment.)

TM 9-2320-260-34-1
4-2. CLUTCH MAINTENANCE

c. Clutch Lever Adjustment
1. Lay pressure plate (2) on flat surface and measure distance from outer surface of pressure plate (2)
to inner surface (14) of cover (5). Distance should be 1.281 in. (3.25 cm). If distance is not correct,
loosen and adjust three screws (13) until distance is correct at all points.

2. Measure distance from top of three levers (12) to inner surface (10) of pressure plate (2). If
measurement is not 2.16 in. (5.49 cm), go to step 3.

3. If measurement of step 2 was less than specified, turn three nuts (11) an equal amount to left until
correct measurement is obtained. If measurement was more than specified, turn nuts (11) an equal
amount to right until correct measurement is obtained.

Are all these measurements supposed to be straight up and down heights from the top of the flat surface the pressure plate is sitting on to whatever is being measured? (1.281" to bottom of cover, 2.16" to top of fingers.)

Thank you,
Ross
