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 |

Flywheel has a hot spot evident from the front side (non friction.)
Micro cracks in the pressure plate. not sure if the is abnormal. The cracks are very fine: Given the off center heat mark on the flywheel it seems one side was getting hotter than the rest. I wonder if one of the teeth from the flywheel made its way/lodged into the pressure plate assembly throwing it off parallel as it engaged??? RMS leak for sure-not the case. Surprised to see a VR seal in there as it is the least popular on the forums. I'll probably try the elring. It does seem there is a Speedy sleeve in there already: |
