Hi,
I seem to have the strangest problems. I set up my new engine, and was putting the transmission back on. I had already put the clutch in. Everything was fine. Then, I slid the transmission back on, and the clutch release fork just swung freely!! WTF?? The clutch plate is fine, and installed correctly. It only goes in one way. Both pressure plates I have look identical. The throwout bearing looks right, and I don't think any parts are missing. I think I got the transmission on far enough. My measurements say it should have worked! Am I missing something?? Sorry for the stupid questions!! Thanks, Jeff |

Thanks, Jeff Jeff, the flywheel on your new motor may have been turned enough to throw the spacing off just enough...if you look on the bird board under the tech articles for clutch replacement, you will find a great write-up with pictures. One issue that many 914 owners have to address is your problem. Many owners put a washer under the pivot arm bolt to compensate for the metal turned off the flywheel. Its amazing how one washer can change the throw on the pivot arm. I've had to do this on two diffent 914 engine transmission combinations for the clutch to dissengage properly. |
