A clutching adjuster (20) having a housing (30) with a nose (40), the nose (40) including a plurality of discrete helically-shaped thread segments (42), a ball stud (50) journaled by a ball stud bore (34) for axial movement therethrough and passing through the nose (40) of the housing (30), the ball stud (50) having a threaded portion (52), an unthreaded portion (56), a ball (51), and a drive spline portion (57), an outbound annular travel barrier (53) and an inbound annular travel barrier (54), wherein, in length of travel clutching operation and end of travel clutching operation where the ball stud (50) is axially rotated through the ball stud bore (34), the receipt of an undue axial force of resistance on the ball stud (50) results in outward deflection of engaged thread segments (42), thereby allowing the threaded engagement between the threaded portion (52) of the ball stud (50) and the thread segments (42) to clutch.
