In summary:
Found the car on Craigslist. Low mile, low rust, straight body. No holes in the hell hole. Longs are clean. A small miracle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) After seeing Rick's "Alien" build, Felix's "Neo 914", and meeting "JLo", Andyrew, Sir Andy and other's rides.... I just gotta' get'er done! |

Roger,
Many have run into this problem and the cause is most often a mismatch of parts. Did you obtain the clutch/pp/tob as a package? If so, you could start a process of elimination by: 1. removing the t/o bearing from fork and check for fit. It it still won't go, your fork may be contacting pressure plate. I've seen this several times but usually happens with engine/transaxle mated closer than the 1" gap your seeing. 2. remove all washers installed behind "ball" and check for fit. IIRC, every washer installed pushes the t/o bearing forward about 1/4" inch. 3. a couple of the bolts securing flywheel to crankshaft appear to be sticking out about 1". That's either just the angle of the pic or you took it before securing all bolts? John |
