More Stiff Clutch ??

[frankym]

Bob,

I won't have access until the weekend to measure but the pedal needs to be ALL the way to the floor to navigate reverse. roughly 5-6 inches from fully engaged to disengaged (floor). The car starts to move after lifting your foot @1-1.5 inches of the floor.

Also, I found that I needed to apply some pressure to the clutch fork using a large pry bar so that I could insert the slave after shorting the length by adjusting the threaded rods to be a total length of "at rest distance" less 1-2 milimeters. Otherwise, it would become extremely difficult to disengage the clutch after the car warmed up to op temp, in fact in first gear with the clutch all the way to the floor, the car used to move/creep, so in order to avoid the partial engage, i effectively moved the starting point of the pull back a hair. The wildwood slave has travel of about 1.38 inches 9per specs). I also used a piece of 1/2 x 1 inch stock to anchor the fixed end of the slave's heimer joint for a firm pulling point on the frame and the slide of the slave is parallel to the frame of the car.

Even still, to race the car and go from 1st to second, the shift is never that fast because it feels like there is resistance or you would need to really shift it hard, it doesn't grind, but it's notchy when doing it fast.

My concern is that the hydraulic throwout versus hydraulic slave alone is not going to ease this clutch. I appreciate your help, thanks,
