Well, we got everything changed and back together.
I crank the car up and it just grinds when trying to shift. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Heres what I know... we didn't remove the flywheel/crankshaft seal so the shims were not messed with I used the rebuilt flywheel (although it looked awefully clean) so I thought we might have to do the shims but didn't think we would be able to do it with what we had available.. I've adjusted the cable at the release fork as much as it can, the pedal feels very tight, and the end of the fork hits the transmision case. I've read about shimming the ball in the bell housing of the tranny, but how? is that what we should do next, or go in and get the shims behind the flywheel in spec? we shifted the transmission while trying to get it back on the engine, whould that have thrown something off? not sure what to do next? |

I've adjusted the cable at the release fork as much as it can, the pedal feels very tight, and the end of the fork hits the transmission case. When you say "as much as it can", do you mean you ran out of threads on the cable end? When you say "the end of the fork hits the transmission case" do you mean when you depress the clutch? The fork pivots on a ball and there's a bushing that goes in the fork lever. Did you change the bushing? I think this is where the washer goes, behind the bushing. If this is incorrect, hopefully someone will chime in. |

When you say "as much as it can", do you mean you ran out of threads on the cable end? I THOUGHT SO, BUT NOW I THINK IT IS ABOUT RIGHT When you say "the end of the fork hits the transmission case" do you mean when you depress the clutch? YES, SHOULD THAT NOT HAPPEN? The fork pivots on a ball and there's a bushing that goes in the fork lever. Did you change the bushing? I think this is where the washer goes, behind the bushing. If this is incorrect, hopefully someone will chime in. I TRIED THE WASHER BEHIND, BETWEEN, AROUND. BUT NOW IT FEELS RIGHT. LEFT OUT THE LITTLE SPACERS THAT WENT ON THE SIDES OF THE BEARING LAST TIME. |
