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? |

Alright, so I'll have to set the end play.
I read in the pelican write up that most shops don't bother with it so I wasn't too concerned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I was also concerned with the shift linkage as it seems a to be having trouble going into 4th and 5th, But maybe it works while in motion, I dont usually try to shift into 4th/5th at a standstill... but the set screws only go in one spot, so how can it be wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Someone said earlier to set the end play with a stiff wire and feeler guages, I'll try that. But the end play wouldn't effect the clutch activity, so I still have to work that out. I'll try to get the pivot ball out to shim it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) This is my first time trying to really work on my car. Thanks for putting up with my lack of experience. I usually work with flesh. |
