Just started working on my car again after a long winter... anyway to where I left off...
I installed a new rxt clutch with the factory flywheel. I didn’t take any measurements of the stock clutch fork position which is where I messed up. I have nothing to reference off of and the McLeod instructions don’t really touch on this. Also searched and searched but couldn’t find a detailed answer. A lot of threads just mentioned pivot arm should be set so tob is parallel to the pp fingers.
I installed a shorter pivot ball to compensate for the taller rxt. I believe I had gone about 5mm shorter but I don’t remember as I did this before it got cold out.
This is currently how the pivot arm sits, I adjusted the cable so the TOB is BARELY touching the pressure plate, now my question is, does the geometry here look good or good enough? I press on the pedal and it goes to the floor without hitting anything which was my primary concern, as the arm is almost halfway through the bell housing opening when attached to the cable
The tob seems parallel to the PP in the resting position and I don’t feel any bind or difficulty when pressing clutch pedal. Really want to avoid removing and reinstalling trans if possible, but if it’s recommended I will. 1 man team and I hate working on my back!
Any help is greatly appreciated! I need to get this car running ASAP, miss bangin gears!
