thanks Auswallaby,

I had been using the shaft length to check the distances... after measuring against the bell housing and the matching face on the gearbox it seems its a different story, as the turned down section of the gearbox input shaft does not fully insert into the mating section on the flywheel.

The measurements I now have:

A: Bellhousing to pressure plate fingers - 64mm
B: Gearbox face to thrust bearing - 73mm (with a 6mm spacer installed)

Pre load... 73 - 64 = 9mm

I will need to get another 6mm spacer to get the preload to the spec range of 14-17mm or see if I can get a longer slave cylinder set up.

The bellhousing is 150mm... not sure what happened with this part, but it seems its a little longer than it should be or its made for a manual clutch / fork set up.

The thrust bearing / ss unit is 90mm when measured, sitting on the bench.

Look forward to any thoughts or (additional) obvious errors.

Cheers

Chris
