Comment on Clutch Fork Position (new everything)*pics*

[Artago]

Clearance is good. Position seem ok?

It's on the work bench right now. Figure I'd ask.

Pretty much everything is new. Jacks 2.1. Jack shimmed it.

As long as it has about 3/4 inch of travel you should be fine.

Why don't you just ask jack?

But here's some confirmation, yours looks great.

TRE TECH TIPS

The clutch fork should be either in the center of the square hole or preferably just towards the slave cylinder. The photo below shows the clutch fork that needs a shim washer installed under the pivot ball.

I don't know how they missed this. Surely this contradiction is a typo.

***Wait, your saying Jack shimmed it? And for whatever reason you question it... but you question it on DSMtuners? ...wow dude, you fall off the stupid truck or something?

I like more than one source of information. Be it Jack or anyone else. I'm NOT questioning Jack or calling him out. I just wanted a second opinion. Jack has been nothing but great to me. He's helped me out a lot on various threads. I'll be posting a review of the trans he built for me when it's all up and running. Thanks for your input.

Edit: It may seem OCD of me but I always like to get multiple sources of info.

Youre testing fork positionon the bench? Thats not possible.

 

[NHerron]

Okay then. My apologies sir.

Crap. Yeah that fork position means nothing if it's not bolted to the engine. Fork rests against tob, tob against pressure plate. Take out all the slack by pushing fork over towards trans and that's the judgment. Read those links.

 

[Artago]

Correction. The tranny is bolted up to the engine on a bench. The pic was taken with the TOB resting against the pressure plate.

I see now. Is the starter plate installed between the trans bell housing and engine? All bolts in to close any gaps?

Long as the fork arm is not too close to pressure plate, that's perfect IMHO.

Plate is in. Bolts are torqued down. She's doing in, in the next few days.
