Hydraulic throw out bearing
I posted this on the CCX forum. I recently changed my clutch set up from a10 1/2 inch set up and an aluminum flywheel to a billet steel flywheel and a 12 inch clutch. The issue I'm having is when I changed everything a can't get the car in gear, I pulled everything apart checked to make sure I had the clutch installed correctly (I did) and rechecked the gap for the hydraulic throwout bearing-which was correct-put it all back together and still can't get the car in gear.
New parts are as follows, new bronze pilot bearing, 12" pressure plate and clutch, billet steel flywheel, the only part that wasn't replaced is the throwout bearing, I attached a picture of the type of pressure plate I'm using (the picture is of a 10 1/2" plate same type only 12"). Hopefully someone else may have had this situation and was able to resolve it. BTW the throwout bearing is the old style Tilton 600 (1997) Attached Images |
Did you follow the instructions for setting the pedal stop so the HTOB has the correct throw?

Will it go into gear with the engine shut off? Or does it balk only with the engine running?

I didn't think of checking the pedal travel due to the fact that it was working before with the old setup. What I should have taken into account was the difference in height between the two pressure plates. Over the weekend I had the car at a friends shop (I just couldn't do it anymore on my back) and on the lift-using his inspection camera, we checked the travel of the throwout bearing and saw that it was barely moving the forks on the pp, readjusted the stop on the clutch pedal and was able to put the car in gear, Problem solved. Occam's razor-"taking all things into account the simplest answer is usually the correct one"
