Does a clutch need freeplay?

Question:
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?

How to untangle this car job?

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.

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