Not wanting to put any undue pressure on the TOB I pulled the cable end as far forward as i could while pushing the clutch lever as far back and adjusted the cable with no free play. Tube is good, cable, pressure plate, flywheel etc all have about 30,000kms. Pedal stop is low and yet I have to push the pedal all the way to the floor to keep from grinding in 1st and reverse. I can not pull the pedal back at all as described in the factory manual. It works but barely- the travel is too far even with the cable adjusted with slight pressure on the shift fork lever.
It seems to me there should always be just the slightest play in the cable- no?? Any thoughts? Pete |

Thanks Clay- sounds like the way to go. Gotta order a RMS as this one is leaking. Also should pull the output shafts for new seals. Any thoughts as to why I'd have leaks with such low mileage?

Pete It's easy to install the RMS wrong, or use a brand of seal that won't provide a good seal in the first place. As far as the output flanges go, mine didn't leak until the rebuild. Then one of them leaked and still continues to leak even after pulling the transmission again and installing another new seal. It happens. |
