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 |

Glad you’re out driving while waiting on parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
So with the added washer under the ball stud, are you still running out of travel on the clutch fork before it interferes with the case? |

Nope- at least I dont think so. I'll have to check with my remote camera but based on this I'd be very surprised. This is all the play in the lever
Full forward: full back: But even like this with 10cm of free travel on the pedal and the pedal stop maxed in the low position the engagement is still low. Pete |
