Hello all, just separated my trans from the motor and found that the clutch unit is tearing into the throw-out arm. What have I done wrong??? What are my options???

The clutch pedal backstop needs to be adjusted so the arm does not contact the PP when the pedal is fully depressed.

I wasn't aware of a backstop, thank you Tom, figure I need to weld some meat back into the arm as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Wouldn't that be when the clutch pedal is fully released? The arm at that spot would move away from the pressure plate when the pedal is depressed. |

Yes...You guys are right. I was thinking of my 911 experience with the 911/01 type of clutch. |
