1988 SBC, KEP 9" flywheel, 228mm HP pressure plate, 228mm kevlar faced disc. TOB from Renegade matched to the KEP parts.
The clutch will disengage, but only very close to the bottom of the pedal travel. In fact, I had to remove the pedal stop. There is almost no free play in the pedal at this point. If I add more free play, the clutch will not disengage. I understand the "fix" for this is to space the pivot ball towards the clutch. Is there any way to determine how thick of a washer to use? I'd dearly love to do this once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

tighten the cable until it releases where you want it.
