Experiencing some issues when shifting gears. I’m finding that even with the clutch pedal pressed the entire way to the floor I’m grinding a bit when shifting. I did a bit of research and decided to adjust the tensioner on the back cable assembly.
First I tried tightening the nut thinking this would help the clutch to engage sooner but in fact the issue appeared worse after I tightened it. I then adjusted the nut back to where I started and tried loosening it but that didn’t help either. Anyone care to take a stab at what the issue might be? New cable assembly maybe? Pressure plate? Thanks everyone!! |

Yep. The clutch release fork that attaches to the trunion / cable. #4 in the diagram below. Let's hope all that's needed is tightening the cable. If the fork is hitting the case and you still get grinding, we'll help you cross that bridge....

There’s already a large spacer that was added at the tensioner cable by the previous owner and I think I may be out of thread to go any tighter but I’ll check again. |
