Not Ranked
Bob,
Why do you adjust it so it's a 1/4" from the end of it's travel? I'm very interested in hearing the reason because we just bled our slave cylinder but don't have enough stroke to release the clutch. We have a mild spring between the throwout arm and the slave cylinder that maintains slight tension on the pushrod to prevent it from falling out.
Now I'm wondering if that spring is actually causing the throwout arm to push the slave piston all the way back in the cylinder thereby reducing the effective stroke of slave cylinder. I was planning on trying to adjust the pushrod so that when the clutch is released there is about 1/16" clearance between the slave cylinder piston and the end of the cylinder so the clutch fork does not keep the throwout bearing in constant contact with the diaphram fingers on the pressure plate. But you say adjust it so there's about 1/4" instead?
I'm going to check tonight that we got all the air out of the line. We had the same master and slave cylinder piston diameters but a long style clutch in the car previously and the clutch worked fine. But perhaps the diaphram style clutch needs more travel to disengage?
