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) |

Do all your research and then put a washer under the pivot ball and be done... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
BTW, washer thickness tolerance varies from tranny to tranny. You only put one and it may have to be shaved to get a full thread turn on the ball. Most of the opposing force is pushing down on the ball and not to the side. Put some red thread locker on it and call it good. You could fix it in 2 hours. Or if you prefer, you can research it for a few days... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

The car is down for paint and the engine/trans is out so that I can prep the engine compartment for paint. I've got more than two hours of that ahead of me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Part of the hobby for me is learning. This is my first 914 but I've probably done 30 other cars (stockers and modifies). I'm learning a lot abut these great cars...and having fun! Yep, it may come down to throwing another washer under the pivot ball....and since you have been there/done that, it probably will. It's my first time to see the prob. |
