Spyder Can a overshimmed pivot ball cause clutch drag?

[August578]

Can a overshimmed pivot ball cause clutch drag? I max adjusted my Slave cylinder and I'm still getting clutch drag. I did add shims to my pivot ball.

It also only drags when I hit limiter, but if I don’t it doesn’t move

The only bad thing that happened when I overshimmed mine was that the clutch fork was rubbing on the pressure plate. It still engaged and disengaged properly

No over shimming would cause the clutch to slip when the pedal was fully released.

Undershimmed would cause the clutch pressure plate to not fully release the clutch disc. This would be evident with hard shifting and the car wanting to die with the clutch pedal fully pressed down in gear. And then a smooth idle in neutral

If you have a 420a im not sure on the pivot ball Shim

Its more likely you need to adjust your clutch master cylinder 5 more times, then bi*** and moan in anger after 2 hours, then adjust it again after another day of driving.

The 2g adjustable master cylinder is a very tricky part. I cant describe how to find the sweet spot for pedal engagement, you have to try low, middle and high pedal length to find it after driving. After you do that you will most likely need to adjust the pedal again after the motor is hot to find the sweet spit

Yup. Small adjustments. 1/8 turn at a time imo.

If it were a 420a, you should not shim the pivot ball or clutch fork. They belong in a fixed position.

But based on OP's vehicle profile it is a Spyder and likely has the 2.4 L

Yeah it’s a 2.4l spyder. It shifts into gears relatively fine and no clunky 1st and reverse.
It will be only hard like 4 out of 10 times into first at a stop light. But then once it’s in I can get into any of the gears pretty easily. Just a little notchy but feels normal I think.

Yeah I’ll try adjusting that rod again, its a real pain to go in and out to under the car like 40 times haha. But if I remember I’m already almost fully maxed on my master rod. I’ll try 1/8 turns.
