Based on what I have studied I seem to think this is not right,new pressure plate/disk,new cable,rebuilt pedal assembly etc ,etc and unknown flywheel in good condition,thinking it has been heavily machined,pedal adjustment is by the book...my idea is the lever is hitting the trans case when pedal fully down...help please before I pull the g/box again.
TIA guys. P.S.clutch cable tube is fine. |

Im at work so don't have diagram here, unfortunately. As for shimming with one standard washer under the pivot ball, that is not an issue and has been done hundreds of times. The real issue is if your flywheel is machined down so much that the retaining bolts hit the pressure plate (many here have seen that). I have a deep 14mm socket to get the ball out, it did bevel the edge so it fits in the recession. No need to over torque it. I use a wrap of Teflon tape after I shim to make sure it seals in leaks form the tranz. Its only a small amount of tape, but it keeps things clean and wont foul up anything.

Thanks for chiming in Dr,flywheel was received in used condition,the clutch running surface was spot on ,it didn't appear to have been heavily machined. Fairly recently removed the clutch and found nothing unusual,if you do have the flywheel drawing I would appreciate if you could put it up on here, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
