Hi there My name is Janpan
Sorry this will be a bit long. I am at my wits end at the moment. Just got motor back in - transmission is a type 1 with an early style release bearing. Kennedy Stage 2 pressure plate (with the ring attachment on the fingers for early type release bearing) and new Daikin Super disc.

My issue is - I have set the clutch pedal free play to the correct amount (at the pedal) however, when the wingnut is adjusted to set this amount of play at the pedal the arm on the transmission literally will not move towards the front of the car (with your fingers from underneath) obviously meaning that the release bearing is hard against the pressure plate ring. If I back the wing nut off a turn I cant get gears without crunching and really having the pedal down to the floor hard.

Obviously, this will kill the release bearing in quick time. Someone on thesamba suggested that the arm is indexed wrong on the splines on the cross shaft for the release bearing fork. Does this sound feasible?

Bowden tube is in place with the correct amount of bend, clutch cable is good. I just cant understand what is going on here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really stuck with this. Anyone have any suggestions at all???

Thanks

Hi,

Something wrong here.

Do you have sloppy pedals? You might want to address this first.

Get them un-sloppy and then work work way backwards.

The arm on the transmission is fixed in one possition, can't be "indexed" wrong. But the arm might be wrong for the transmission?

I would take the engine out and have a look what's going on in the bellhousing. with motor out you can get a mate to  press the clutch pedal and see how its all working.

I've seen bent arms on the gearbox, wrong cables, worn pedal boxes etc but the only thing that I've had real trouble with that sounds similar was when the bowden tube was wrong and didnt have the right amount of sag. A previous owner had used sockets and nuts jnder the wing nut to get it to work. Changed the tube and all was good.
