Hello Evan
Read page 36, section 3-16 in the free online 80-81 shop manual (note page 183 for the 82 C70 refers to this page).
You are doing backwards, or saying it backwards.

I could have lived with it, but thought I would try adjusting the clutch as described in the service manual (loosen lock nut, turn adjust screw ccw 1 turn, then turn cw until you meet resistance, then ccw 1/8 - 1/4 of a turn). Now it's waaay worse. I'm having trouble getting into any gear, and it's popping a lot.
