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 |

Well I found a couple of hours (some nighttime prep.... unit out.
First impressions as a first timer- the input shaft and clutch are so small! I'd be nervous to try a 3.6 with this transaxle... Anyway- taking out the transaxle was very easy. Helps that I have a lift but even with a jack/axle adapter it would be no problem and I would in fact do this over without a full engine drop. Everything is very easy to reach. Even my BMW 2002 was more work than this to pull the transmission. Held up the engine with a simple scaffolding leg using a rubber block up top and used a hydraulic table with a simple wooden jig to support the transaxle and it just slid right out. |
