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.

I generally shim my clutch pivot point to bring the arm as close to the rear as possible when installed, basically if I can slide my pinky (i have small fingers) in between the arm and the tranny then its not shimmed enough. I find this gives the best pedal feel and puts the tip over point in the upper 1/3 of pedal travel. The 2nd picture you posted, in my experience is way to large a gap. Aim for the first picture. |
