Brand new 215 SACHS clutch, pressure plate, throwout, and re-surfaced flywheel. With the trans bolted, and no clutch cable connected, the clutch should be engaged--but it is not. You can also move the clutch arm without too much effort.
Took everything apart and all looks good??? Could the throwout bearing be depressing the plate from some reason when I bolt it all up....which would explain why the clutch is not by default engaged and the clutch arm is not to hard to move? I'm thinking the plate fingers are partially depressed making them easier to move further. There is one washer under the clutch pivot arm from when I did a new clutch when I had the 1.8 motor. Looking for ideas...I'm baffled... Attached image(s)

One wheel must be held from turning by something. If you have both wheels off the ground and turn one wheel, the input shaft (& therefor clutch/flywheel) is not turning. If you have both wheels off the ground and lock one wheel and turn one wheel, AND THE TRANNY IS IN GEAR, then the input shaft will turn. |
