SPF Slave Cylinder Help.

[Blittleton]

many of the wilwoods pull types on Both SPF and BDR's were leaking after short miles due to improper alignment. Not just the pull types but the push as well. With a proper bracket design seems to help alot of the fixes for the push.

I'm the one doing the weeping!

I'm going to install the rod tonight and will let you know tomorrow if it helped. Should be able to adjust all freeplay out of the system.

If that doesn't do it, I'm stumped!

Blittleton has given you some good advice. If it was working OK before, that would indicate the sizing ratios are acceptable. When the rod is adjusted you must have a very small amount of freeplay to prevent the T/O Bearing from contacting the release levers on the clutch pressure plate. You may find you have some bad cup seals inside the master or slave cylinders.

Update.

I fabricated a 3/8 inch threaded rod so that I could adjust the clutch play at the fork.

Adjusted all of the play out and then added about 1/4 inch of additional tension so that the fork was starting to compress a little bit.

Fired up the car, still grinds like hell in reverse. All other gears are smooth as silk. Clutch engages a little more than halfway out from the floor.

NOW WHAT? I'm out of ideas!
