I have a friend that is trying to install a new (used) transaxle in his car. He is telling me that he has A LOT of free travel in the clutch fork before he feel any resistance from the T/O bearing touching the fingers on the pressure plate.
He has 3 washers behind the clutch fork pivot ball right now. What can cause significant travel of the clutch fork before resistance? The clutch has all new parts (pressure plate, disk and throw-out bearing). The only part that is not new is the cup washer in the clutch fork. He said there is only about 1/2" space between the fork and the clutch fork opening before it hits the case when trying to engage the clutch. Thanks in advance! |

Mike........That is quite a lot of free play with three washers stacked to correct the geometry even for a flywheel that has been cut to the max......I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if the new cup bushing doesn't cure the problem....I would be giving the flywheel a good look.........Also tell him to use some good sealant on those ballstud threads because that tapped hole goes all the way to tranny oil..

Jerry, Flywheel is supposedly a virgin but I will confirm. Good advice on the ball stud - I did not know that is was a through hole. Thanks! |
