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?? |

Thomas, I suspect that your clutch is not adjusted correctly = cable tight enough when cold, too loose when hot. I have posted above how to check it. It is easy and you should have no problem doing it yourself.
When does the clutch disengage in the pedal travel when cold? Hot? I bet they are different. How much play do you have with in your pedal at the top when cold? Hot? Again, I would bet they are different. Your cable should be adjusted so that it meets the aforementioned criteria when it is hot. Thus, at its hottest and slackest it should have no more than 3/4" pedal slop and should disengage the clutch in the bottom of the 1st 1/4 of pedal travel. The bronze bushing at the fire wall is an after market part and is meant to replace #41. James sells these. |
