    Is there any way of shortening the throw on the hydraulic clutch of a TE250?

    There is a threaded knob/screw behind the lever this will wind the lever in or out to suit hand sizing

    Yes, thank you. But I'm wondering about shortening the distance of lever travel to disengage the clutch its self. I have the lever moved out till it is almost kissing the shield of my bark buster to fit my grip reach; but, I'd like to shorten the pull. I thought perhaps the piston in the actuator cylinder and/or master cylinder might could be changed/modified, or something like that. I had a hand injury that effects the angle my ring and pinky fingers bend, and it plays hell with levers hitting my ring finger's central knuckle. I'm also fixing to trim down the lever to two finger length, unless a "shorty" lever is available.

    Interesting... The Midwest Mountain Engineering lever is a shorty, but also lighter pull which means longer travel. This is accomplished through a different pivot point.

    So, as much as I love my MME lever, I wouldn't recommend it for you.

    Is there no adjustment on the clutch itself?

    I believe you can purchase a few other brands that have different throw lengths-not necessarily Husky specific. Not sure if there is a separate internals kit for your mode;l clutch however.

    The only way to change the throw distance is to change the pivot point. The throw will be shorter but will take more force. You dont get something for nothing.
