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 |

Good job getting the trans out - beautiful garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
The main pivot you’re interested in is in the bottom photo - circled. Under the pivot ball stud that screws into the trans housing. To regain shift fork geometry this pivot ball gets another (or a thicker) washer between it and the trans housing to move the pivot rearward. This will get you some clearance between the shift fork lever arm and the trans housing. I can’t tell from the photo on top if there are parts of the pressure plate hanging up on the flywheel. If the flywheel has been machined deeper than it should have been, this can lead to the symptoms you’re having. Likewise if they machined the flywheel face deeper but didn’t take a similar amount off the top face - maybe it can lead to interference between the flywheel and the pressure plate? I’m speculating. Just give those three tabs an eye and make sure they aren’t hung up. This guy! Washer goes under this ball stud |
