I'm having trouble getting the gears to engage. Im finishing off a Suby transplant with the 901 and have a new clutch cable. I verified the clutch cable tube is not loose in the tunnel, the cone screws are tight, but no matter how I adjust the shift linkage I get a grinding into 1st or reverse. This is sitting still in the garage. So that made me think maybe it was the clutch. I didn't notice this when mating the tranny to my new clutch and throwout bearing, but the release lever isn't centered in the opening. It only goes back about 3/4 of the way and can touch the forward bellhousing. Do I need to pull the tranny and install a shim? Where should I install the shim and how thick of a washer? Thanks

Being close to the forward bell housing is OK ... You don't want it to hit the backside. Shims are needed if the lever doesn't go forward enough, so in your case a shim would make it worse.
With the clutch pedal all the way to the floor, where is your lever? It should be close to the rear part of the opening. If not, you may have too many shims already, preventing the clutch from disengaging completely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
