Based on what I have studied I seem to think this is not right,new pressure plate/disk,new cable,rebuilt pedal assembly etc ,etc and unknown flywheel in good condition,thinking it has been heavily machined,pedal adjustment is by the book...my idea is the lever is hitting the trans case when pedal fully down...help please before I pull the g/box again.
 TIA guys. P.S.clutch cable tube is fine. |

You can shim the clutch release fork pivot ball to compensate for the flywheel difference from the spec , you can also heat and bend the release fork towards the front of the car.
Lastly, get a new flywheel. |

Yes obviously that's my next step,just thinking someone may say the release arm is a little too far towards the rear,living on my own in the country I have no one to push the pedal,I do know a really nice girl down the road 5km's away...food for thought or just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) . I will jack the car up further and check for a contact point on the release arm meanwhile. |

It might just need tightening a little more? |

I checked and have a contact point on the arm to gearbox so all isn't great ,box is getting ready to come out now,time for a pivot ball washer. Hope you are well my friend,thanks. |
