Experiencing some issues when shifting gears. I’m finding that even with the clutch pedal pressed the entire way to the floor I’m grinding a bit when shifting. I did a bit of research and decided to adjust the tensioner on the back cable assembly.
First I tried tightening the nut thinking this would help the clutch to engage sooner but in fact the issue appeared worse after I tightened it. I then adjusted the nut back to where I started and tried loosening it but that didn’t help either. Anyone care to take a stab at what the issue might be? New cable assembly maybe? Pressure plate? Thanks everyone!! |

I'd take a look at item #5 in post 29...that plastic piece eventually wears out and you don't get full travel no matter how much you adjust the cable.
You can assess by seeing if the clutch fork hits the transmission case when you depress the clutch pedal, and there maybe wear marks where it contacts the case. I made a special allen wrench to remove the fork without removing the transmission...but, if this is the problem, you're probably looking at pulling the engine and transmission for a $5 piece of plastic...sorry, if that's the case. |
