Presuming the adjusting shaft is the handwheel that you turn to adjust free play, figure out why it won't turn.  You need to lift the handwheel about an inch to engage the adjusting nut.  There should not be any nut that locks the adjusting threaded rod, so maybe you need to back that off.

And free play in what?

Not as smart as Brian who figured out right away what is being talked about...

A real good item to not screw with unless you know exactly what your doing, and would guess you do not or you would not need to ask the question.
Have been trained n the steering gear systems, years ago, bearing preload & highpoint settings, not easy to feel using words, need hands on to get the feel.

I leapt to assume clutch, since that is the only thing I adjust free play on with my 1980 MC-5C...
