Throwout bearing movement..How far?
Just wondering how far the throwout bearing pushes in on the pressure plate when the clutch pedal is pushed? What is the optimal setup?
Thanks.... Mike |
I am just guessing because it has been some time since I set mine up but I think it is a minimum of .0125 and a maximum of approx .500". Not to far actually. All you need to do is get the clutch off the pressure plate anything beyond that is just excess travel.

Hi
I have just made an auto->manual swap. I used a wilwood 3/4" main and a Howe hyd. throwoutbearing. The clutch are a Centerforce II. 9mm travel on the Howe bearing are enough for release. http://www.cobra-club.dk/galleri/31_...gear%20004.jpg http://www.cobra-club.dk/galleri/31_...gear%20007.jpg I enjoy your forum....sorry for my bad english.

Thanks for the input everyone.
I adjusted my pedal and slave cylinder to allow about 3/8" travel of the throwout bearing. I got my car on the road last weekend and so far the clutch is doing pretty good. I also replaced the inner spring in the master clutch reservoir with a new one that is about 3/4 the length of the cylinder. My theory is this spring pushes the internal piston all the way back past the fluid input hole from the master reservoir. My two older springs were not quite as long as this one. Time will tell. The clutch is still a little stiff but much a lot smoother than before. Thanks for all the suggestions, etc. I hope these clutch problems are now behind me? Mike |
