When everything went in the car (V8 engine/trans) it was new.
I adjusted everything per the best specs available. (found here and from Renegade) When i first ran her engauging first gear was no problem. Now, 100 miles later, it seems to be getting harder and harder to get 'er into first gear. I've adjusted the clutch cable to the point of riding on the clutch plate/TO bearing. any more and the clutch would start to disengauge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) i've watched the clutch lever go back and forth and it looks like everything moves smoothly. i did, however, bend the clutch fork a little during assembly because i thought iti needed to in order to mate the engine/transaxle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) so now what do I do?? oh, i've got a RH flywheel and TO bearing, a kennedy clutch plate and pressure plate. I'm feeling pretty stumped on this one......

so if the cable tube was starting to give up, the symptom would be the clutch cable would get looser and looser no matter how much I've tightened it?

No. I was a dumb 20 year old kid when I had my 914 (1985 ish). I kept tighting the damn thing. Well, eventally the shift fork has no where to go. So, the next time I stepped on the clutch the cable did not break, the shift fork did not break. Something had to give and it was the firewall. UGH. |
