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!! |

The most important pitfall to avoid is getting slag inside the tube. If you choose to weld on the tube itself you can insert a same size drill bit inside the tube when welding to prevent this. You can clamp it with a "U" or "J" bolt to the side or bottom of the tunnel. You can also wrap a strap/clamp around the tube then weld the strap/clamp to the tunnel wall but not weld the strap to the tube if your concerned about slag.
