Why after adjusting the clutch to a point where when engaging into first or second there are no grinds on a cold start....
but after the car is hot it begins to grind in first second, and third does not engage as well does the cable expand this much from the heat?? |

Where does the clutch disengage in the pedal stroke? It should dissengauge in the 1st 1/4 of pedal travel. You should have no more than 3/4" of play in the pedal when it is fully out.
Cables do stretch over time, and with heat and you may need a new one. I like the more robust Terry cables. Has your flywheel ever been machined? |

You should have no more than 3/4" of play in the pedal when it is fully out. These conversations always confuse me and I've adjusted my cable many times over the years and still don't know the answer. When you say it should disengage in the first 1/4 of pedal travel, does that mean that your foot is off the pedal and only 1/4 of the way down, the engine will spin and the wheels will not? And what exactly is "play" in the pedal. When your foot is off the pedal, is it the amount you can pull "up" (towards the driver) or is the amount you can gently push "down" (toward the floor) before your foot feels any resistance as the cable begins to take up tension? And when your foot is totally pushed into the floorboard, as you let up on the clutch, when (distance or percentage of travel?) should the clutch begin to engage? I will be forever grateful for the answers, O Doc of Evil! Paul |
