Clutch adjustment, cable to long Options

[rstover]

I purchased this package to put in my bumblebee while working on it so I could drive it. I got the engine in and started last week and everything sounds and appears as advertised. My clutch cable was about 20 mm to long. By putting a couple of larger nuts on the cable it was at a point where it felt about right, but TO lever was hitting back of housing. I would like to keep the engine, clutch and flywheel package together. I do not know how the flywheel was lightened and did not measure it before putting together. I wanted to make sure the engine was running before proceeding. I should probably put a new TO bearing in . My question is do I need a special TO bearing or how do I shim the stock one. Or did I miss something else.  his_engine_was_professionally_rebuilt_and_installed_2.0_engine.doc ( 23k ) Number of downloads: 193

Check the ball cup on the back of the throw out bearing arm. It might be worn through.

It is common, if you use the metal clutch clevis, to have to use 10-20mm worth of spacers on the end of the cable.
