Clutch Fork Adjustment Pics

[willtmcgee]

I installed my transmission with a new spec clutch, TOB, OEM re-serfaced Flywheel and the clutch fork was closer to the passenger side I searched and found the post about the fork needing to be closer to the drivers side for the best engagement so I pulled it and shimmed the Pivot ball just wanted some opinions on the placement to make sure its not too far over, there is about 1 inch of movement before it hits the clutch. Thanks

Looks good to me. I would finish putting together and run it if this was my car.

+1, looks ready to rip that is after the break in.

Cool Thanks guys

Just make sure the fork is far enough away from the PP. Shim too much upsetting geometry and fork may kiss the PP.

Is there anyway to tell, Will i feel it in the pedal?

With car off, you can pull the rubber boot back and inspect visually

+1 for avoiding putting your lips to the pp/kissing, etc. The sound is awful.

If everything was new, and your flywheel was recently cut - I'd wager that they did it incorrectly.
Did you get an opportunity to have them measure the step height in front of you?

Damn that is close, maybe even closer than my old setup. I had nasty "kissing" on startup and after adjusting the master I ended up shimming the slave out an inch in order to stop it (the trans wasn't coming back out that day).

If you have the time, tear it back down and get your flywheel fixed, otherwise you have the option of running it and crossing your fingers that it will work fine in the end like my setup did.

No I wish I would have i actually read that while searching about this, If I really need to i could pull it back out before i get the axles and other stuff bolted up. I did reuse the fork and ball they looked in ok shape the only thing that is new is the PP clutch disk and TOB.

I'm installing a brand new fidanza flywheel, brand new act 2600, new street disc, new tob, new fork, and new ball. My junk better shift

 

[Rudie4]

Hey man where did u find the thread to move the fork I just installed a new clutch and I need to move it over

Ive heard about doing this on the Evos to solve the same problem, but I gather you have to drop the trans to do so?

 

[NHerron]

Yup to properly assess the situation you drop the trans. Don't be a dork and use the extended slave cylinder rod..
