[RESOLVED] NEVER use a longer clutch rod

[eclips3_xs]

Why cant you use a longer slave rod???

 

[r1991_4g63t]

if you need to use one you have another problem elsewhere. whether it be a bad pivot ball, clutch fork or bad hydraulics

aha i see so the rod is only a temporary thing until you get your thin fixed up.

"If you are having problems with a clutch adjustment, don't be tempted to try to lengthen the clutch slave cylinder rod. It may work for a few symptoms (worn pedal assembly mostly) but it is not the right way to fix things. In order to take up additional free play, it puts constant pressure on the release bearing. "
