While performing my favorite pastime of sleeping under my teener, I looked deeper into my clutch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
Is the throwout bearing always in contact with the preassure plate?? It appears it must be given there is always a certain amount of cable tension. Just a thought... and does it put undue wear on the throwout bearing? Tim |

It will make contact, but that is why you should have free play (aprox 1/2 inch as I recall) at the top of the clutch pedal. As long as the cable isn't "preloaded" so that it is putting any real tension on the fork before you step on the pedal, any wear on the bearing is minmal and unavoidable.
Or, Reader's Digest Version: As long as yo' cable adjusted right, ain't no thang. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
