Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

maybe your clutch cable is broken in 2 inside somewhere.

I still wouldnt be able to move this lever so easily would I? Like there is zero resistance on it

ABAZ

I do recall testing out the bearing when i installed it, it definetely moved and easily, i woulda noticed

What else could it be if this bolt is in there?

Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

Yes, it should have zero resistance on it, about 1 to 1 1/2 inchs of freeplay before you touch the release bearing on the pressure plate. Do what I said, shim the cable, then have someone press the clutch in and out while you watch the throw.

How much shimming would I need Jeff? Inch?

I honestly dont get what the throwout bearing is doing when im pulling the lever or what its supposed to do, sorry for sounding stupid when i just joined up

Thanks

Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

Would shimming even do anything since the bottom of the cable is always going to be under the lever?

Kinda lost

Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

i think he means to shim the upper part of the cable thats connected to the bracket thats bolted to the tranny

Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

you can shim it in 2 spots...

AWESOME VIDEO!

Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

Thanks for making that vid Jeff

I kinda get how it works now but even watching your vid and looking at how much pressure youre using to even pull it up that inch and a half

I really do mean, its like there is zero resistance when I pull it, but I do feel it hitting that pressure plate I think

---- I dunno

Re: HUGE CLUTCH TRANNY PROBLEM!! What Could It Be??
 

so much confusion over a simple task, if you would have done it with a manuel or if u had one and read it right, this wouldnt be a problem. do you mean like no play as in the peddle hits the ------- floor if you barley touch it or is there just a light force pushing back? sure u even got the right clutch?
