SPF Slave Cylinder Help.

Something is being missed. I have a TKO 600 with standard slave and bracket and it works perfect. The only issue I had was weaping because the bracket was not alinged with fork.

what transmission do you have? where did you get your bracket? Are you using the Isuzu slave cylinder which comes with SPF's. If you push in on the clutch can someone push you down the street? If so it is not your clutch.

I took it to a local mechanic that does most of my normal engine work and showed him what I had done. He kept it the whole day and whenI picked it up said he couldn't get reverse to grind once and that the clutch was not dragging at all.

I got in it to drive home and started the engine with the clutch pedal to the floor, shifted into 4th and then slowly tried reverse..........GRIND.

What am I doing wrong?

Strange. I guess the next step is to have a fellow Cobra owner with a similar configuration sit in your car and attempt to put it into reverse. I leave my car parked in 3rd, but usually put into first, then neutral, then reverse.

Hand grenade in driver's seat.

Pull pin, walk away.

Start all over again.

Jim,

This isn't rocket science. A couple things could be happening here. Either your Clutch Master is bypassing a little, or your clutch may be worn enough were you don't have enough throw. Has this always been the case with grinding? What has changed? Did you try the adjustment rod I mentioned?

Car has 2000 miles on it and it just started.

I did the adjustable rod and used it to take all the freeplay out of the adjustment.

Slave travels about an inch and a half.

Clutch is not dragging in any way. Full disengage about 2 inches from the floor.

Going to just drive it and get used to it!
