1G New clutch fork! Grinding when letting out clutch!

[uberstrafe]

So my clutch fork snapped a week ago so I just put in a new clutch fork and TOB. I finished last night at like 4am so I just went to bed. This morning I went out started the car and started to back out of the garage when I hear a grinding noise when the clutch is almost all the way out. I also felt the vibration through the clutch pedal. I did not even try to drive the car, just turned it off and went inside very pissed. The only thing that I can think of is that I didn't bleed the clutch slave cause I never disconnected the line anywhere and maybe that has something to do with it.

I read on here a couple of similar problems and they all said it was the TOB, but mine is brand new mitsu oem. Any ideas guys?

Bleed it anyway, and maybe adjust the clutch under the dash. Search for adjustment.

I do have the clutch adjusted all the way out cause the old fork was pretty bad before it snapped. Is it possible for the clutch to be adjusted too far out?

Anything is possible, did you look at teamrip.com
it shows you how to do it or how much to let it out. I didnt do mine my buddy helped me out.

I added an extra washer to the pivot ball when I did the install and when I put the transmission on and I couldnt actually move the fork with my hand, does that mean it was shimmed too far out? I only have two washers on there but seeing that the fork is brand new I could see that maybe I dont need to shim it...

So I bit the bullet and dropped the tranny again, removed the shims and put it back on and the fork now can move by hand. It still leans towards the driver side so all is good, hopefully this will fix the issue.

So the problem did turn out to be the shims, the car shifts beautifully after replacing the clutch fork! So lesson learned for me, dont shim brand new fork and fulcrum ball.

WOW I think you just solved my problem for me here!!

I just finished a QM Twin install and had a similar grinding!! Based of my assumption and this thread affirming my theory. Im going to venture a geuss that the clutch fork was not ground properly as I was told it would be. They have to be modded to fit the QM clutch pak. Lets hope my Tear-down goes as well as yours did.
