dragging clutch, renegade w/kennedy PP and clutch Options

[Dr. Roger]

she's got a new flywheel, PP, T/O bearing, clutch plate, clutch cable, pedal cluster looks and feels good and is well lubed, rear wheel looks and feels good/lubed, bronze rear shifter bushing and good front busings.

i've driven her about 50 miles and have adjusted the clutch 4 times already. every time tightening the adjuster nuts. now it's getting hard to get into gear... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

this doesn't seem to be right.

is this the notorious clutch tube problem???

is there a way to check for this?

big thanks in advance...

At one point Andy mentioned bending the clutch fork...bend it away from the rear of the car..to give you more throw...

As far as checking the clutch tube..

Remove the four bolts on the shifter housing...turn it 90 degrees..stick a small mirror in there and loo towards the fron of the car...you can see the clutch tube right next to the shifter housing...follow it forward about 4-5 inches..there is the welded tab, on the side of the tunnel.

It is welded there, and at the rear firewall.

This sounds like using the conversion, the flywheel is not ground to the right depth...

I can see buring out a clutch plate with all the torque, but I cannot see having to adjust it to ride on the PP all the time..

I bet if you measured the depth of the flywheel versus stock, its higher...or closer to the PP.

what is the conversion...stock flywheel, or different, PP is from what?
Measure the stock PP from the mounting face to the face of the PP where it hits the disk
Measure the Stock Flywheel depth from the PP mounting face to the face of the flywheel
Measure the stock disck thickness.

Now do all the same measurements on the Renegade setup.

There must be a difference.
The flywheel is the only place to remove material..
