·JRV: I have the new clutch at
JRV: I have the new clutch attached in the car. It went in fairly smooth.......had to hit it with a rubber mallet as I slowly torqued down the nuts. It is seated against the flywheel.
The lever arm from the fork shaft does not align with the lower clip of the slave cylinder....no surprise, since this is a new clutch.
The lever arm has about an inch of free movement up and down. In the down position it pushes the throw-out bearing against the clutch. The slave cylinder moves the arm farther down to engage the clutch. I am thinking of positioning the arm where it bearly touches the throw-out bearing, or less. However, then the arm is not at a 90 degree angle to the slave cylinder shaft....it is lower...any movement to engage the clutch will bring the arm even lower.....possibly too low. Do I release the hydraulic pressure, reposition the shaft at 90 degrees to the slave cylinder and then re-fill the hydraulic unit so the "rest" position is now where the fork shaft arm is 90 degrees to the slave cylinder......will this work?
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Henryk
