Hey folks. So after just about two years I'm getting ready to finally reinstall the rebuilt engine and refreshed trans-axle. Before getting the drive-train back up in the car though I read in the Pelican clutch change tech article to check the clutch fork for adequate throw of 0.5 inch. Problem is I'm not sure where to measure from on the fork so I took these picks for a 914World QA check before going any further.

The measurement is from the second position to fully released, so all the way to the tranny side of that slot.
The key is this..... Does the pressure plate fully release the clutch before the release fork hits the transmission housing. The best test is still to push that fork (put a pipe over the end) all the way to 1/2 inch away from the housing and see if the axle flanges move while the tranny is in gear. With a limited slip diff, both axle flanges will spin the same direction. With a stock diff, hold one of the flanges in place and use the other flange for your tests... How's that for confusing? |
