Not Ranked
HTB = Hydraulic Throwout Beaing (no slave).
Yeah, I just read the instructions again from long ago. There is a set distance from the face of the HTB to clutch at .100 to .125. From there you are to park the car on an incline press the pedal and set maximum pedal movement once car starts rolling, set your stop at that point to not over extend HTB as this is the result a tech told me at one time results in almost all HTB failures.
Also I did not put grease on the input shaft as the instructions stated, contrary to what many told me, in large bold type "DO NOT USE OIL OR GREASE" only use DOT 3 brake fluid to slide the HTB on the shaft.
Again, that is not the problem as it has been running flawless like this for years, but if the fingers DID break, I would like to know why. |
