Has anyone ever experimented with increasing the diameter of the transaxle clutch cable pulley?
Obviously the housing would have to be modified that much goes without saying. My wondering on this idea would be to shorten the "throw" at the pedal with the hope of increasing shift speed (I've converted to a cable shift). Direct experience with this modification very much sought. |

All of the above. That's not how a pulley works...
If you want to shorten the "throw" of the clutch pedal you'll have to change the lever arm on the clutch pedal itself or on the fork at the throwout bearing. Or convert to hydraulic. |

Or convert to hydraulic. If you want to clean up the clutch mechanism, I think this would be the way to go. With the 901 tranny, use caution...The box just was not designed for "bang" shifting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My trans was recently rebuilt by Dr_Evil and shifts very well. When I get in a hurry going from 1st to 2nd, I'm either pushing the synchros hard and getting a grind or I'm nicking reverse. If you want to shift quickly, it might be prudent to look to a different trans. My 914 even with a 2056 is slow and no amount of shifting speed will help me out drag today's minivans and SUVs. |
