heres a pic or 2 of the clutch fork when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.. the clutch plate was fine... the problem is it wont allow it to go into gear at all. if you put it in gear when the motor is off and try to fire it up with the clutch in, it labours and wont fire due to the slow rotation,so if i adjust the fork so it travels further it will start in gear (still laboured) but not drive, as soon as its out of gear you cannot get it back in.. i have even spaced the box back from advice from others thinking the input shaft could be fouling in the spigot bearing, and this had made no difference.. so does anyone have any more ideas? a previous owner said this set up has worked fine before, so what could the issue be?? the box?   and heres a pic for those of you that like a juicy steak.  |

I have put another idea for ya bellhousing on your other thread paul, It involves cutting ya bellhousing off flush at the firewall thru the welds & adding on a flange to make it removable from the firewall

if you put spacers in behind your pressure plate it would bring it out further..that would only make it worse (if infact your fork is travelling in too far).

Cut the bell housing off and put a proper one on. Clutch plate has to be correct thickness for pressure plate,as a rule the fingers should be flat when bolted up. Is your master cylinder ok?If you have misalignment problem the input shaft can drag in spigot bearing!! Are there any dowels to line up engine to firewall when you bolt engine back in?? Cut that bellhousing off and save yourself a hole lot of grief!!!

Hey there sorry my earlier post was a bit confusing , what i done was i had the fly wheel of the motor and bolted the clutch up to it and found out my pressure plate was going over center when i bolted it up so by putting the washers under it it remedied that problem then i had to put a pedal stop in the car just so i couldn't over push the pedal. If you have a drill press pull the fly wheel of the motor and put the release bearing on the fingers and using the drill press (not turned on HA HA) just check that it is releasing before putting it in the car that way u eliminate the clutch itself then it can only be either a misalignment or an over throw problem

yes the engine has dowels to locate it on the firewall..
from memory the clutch plate measured 7mm or there abouts the one i took out was 6mm.. or it might have been 7mm and the one i put in 8mm... either way i put one in that was 1mm thicker.
when i cranked the pressure plate bolts up the fingers didnt come completely flat, they stuck out a fraction...

righty ho, ive got a flywheel,clutch plate and pressure plate arriving this week,
its out a running car so ill compare the clutch plate thicknesses and if it still doesnt work im throwing the fork set up and going for a hydraulic throw out instead..
