    When we put the Countach in storage last fall it felt like the clutch had gone out of adjustment and was riding on the through out bearing. This is a problem we need to get corrected before we start driving in the spring. Can anyone tell me the process used to make this adjustment? On most of the rest of the cars it is a simple threaded rod and nut on the pivot arm but that does not look to be the case with this car. Any help or advice would be great.

    You can adjust the clutch. On the right side of the trans about half way up, close to the engine block you will see the clutch slave. Attached to that you will find the clutch lever. The lever it splined and held in place by a pinch bolt. Remove the pinch bolt and pop the lever off the throw out bearing shaft. Now you can change the position by moving it forward or back. Adjust as you see fit, reattach and try it out. Adjust forward or back as you see fit and tighten everything down. Its a bit of a pain to do, but it can be done.
