Okay, I'm having some kind of weird problem with my car.
I replaced my warn tied second hand freebie clutch that I got (that did okay for a while, thanks dan) and then died, the throwout bearing died too.
So a long story short I put in an exedy racing japan clutch.
The car was driving beautifully, I went for a mountain run, it was ace.
Now today, on to get an exhaust gasket after dropping off some spring compressors, I notice it's a bit hard to get into 3rd. I've REALLY got to make sure the clutch is absolutely to the floor, or it'll crunch, eww.
by the time i get to the auto shop, and pickup my gasket, and get out my car wont go into reverse at all...... ..... .... quite annoying.
plz throw ideas..
also does the ae86 clutch pedal have adjustment?
runnin TYK-6279SC i think

Get someone to step on the clutch while you are under the car and watch the slave cylinder moving the clutch fork. If the rod on the slave isn't moving, you'll have to replace either the slave or master cylinder(or check that the clutch fluid resevoir is full).
If it's not that, you'll have to pull the box off to diagnose and fix.
yeah it's moving.. but .. i was thinking what if it's not moving far enough?
I really don't want to take the gearbox off again.. ... ...
i was thinking maybe the throwout bearing had come loose (rthy's idea)
My mate's car threw a spring off the clutch disk and got caught somewhere not allowing the pressure plate to disengage which I doubt happened to your clutch. Could be a collapsed pressure plate.
I doubt a brand new exedy racing clutch would collapse on day 1..
atleast it better not
what im starting to think is i put the clips back in a fair bit of a hurry
there was about .5-1 cm of play on the clutch fork..
so, im guessing it's that.
argh!!!
have a look at the clutch slave see if it moves as far as it can(bleed it and see if its better). also maybe take the rod that pushs on the clutch for out.....my clutch was doin the same thing when i installed a new clutch and it was this rod that bent which meant the clutch slave pushed all the was out but the rod wasnt travellinf as far. you can adjust the throw usuall with the screw that the fork pivots on.
good luck
oh man
lol
yeah im pretty sure it's just the damn slave or master or something like that.
i just pulled the gearbox off then put it back on after having a look at everything, on my own, at night, with a staffie cross sniffing me.
woo woo
but damn, broke till friday!! argh. i'll see if i can scab some from parents for a clutch slave or something. sigh.
I would be much less sooky about it if i was
1. smart
or
2. had a torch other than my mobile phone light (hugs 6280, is there NOTHING it can't do?)
still no good
have fucked around with the clutch slave/master (got new ones) playing with the clutch pedal adjustment seemed to work for a bit (can't find a proper explanation of how it works like in the AE86 book)
i pulled the gearbox off on advice from here last time, and nothing seemed to be a miss.
anyone got any ideas i could try before i take a sledge to the sprinter?
Thanks, Grant.
You did take the pressure plate off as well didn't you?
I just pulled the pressure plate off mine and a chunk of metal fell out of it and everything looked and sounded fine.
