I got it fixed! I put a small washer on the pivot point on the throwout bearing fork to give a little more throw, Worked like a charm.
How badly are those fingers on the PP bent? I can see how those would affect the throw, & why the washer compensates for that, but I'm wondering how this fix would affect a clutch with normal fingers.
The clutch in my truck would be so much better if it released closer to the top of the throw, but, don't know if this would allow the pedal to come back up far enough so that the throwout bearing would not be constantly in contact with the fingers of the PP. The freeplay at the top of the pedal would normally ensure that this doesn't happen.
nice!
yeah I think im going to fabricate an adjustable fork/slave cly rod when I do replace mine... it bugs me that NOTHING adjusts in these setups...
I would love to see this mod! Please post pix when you get around to doing it!
I have a hard time liking this design too. Call me an old fart, old school dinosaur, but to me, a non-adjustable clutch system just does not make sense. Yea, yea, I know that the hydraulics are supposed to automatically compensate for the wear of the disc, but to my way of thinking, that's a passive way of relying on a system that contains sacrificial parts.
Besides, I hate the feel of a hydro-clutch system. Feels like it belongs on a cheap low-level entry import.
Give me a mechanical linkage system anyday. At least I can fix/modify it to my taste as I require!
