Hey all,
After buying this conversion from a friend and getting about a month of clutch slip free driving, i finally pulled out my clutch on the weekend.
However the actual clutch plate had plenty of meat on it and looked okay. (The pressure plate also later checked out ok)
So i took clutch and pressure plate to the good people of Western Brake and Clutch, St Marys. After explaining what was happening he offered this explaination. Which turned out to be 100% correct.
He told me to measure the height of the clutch assembly from the block (minus distance to springs), then measure the distance from the front of the bellhousing to the thrust bearing, with the fork in the centre of the hole.
These distances should be the same, and it should be possible to move the bearing 10mm in each direction. However my clutch height was 73mm, distance to bearing was 62mm with the fork in the centre of the hole. To achieve the required 73mm the bearing carrier was hitting on the front of the gearbox. Hence giving me no movement in one direction.
Essentially this was causing the clutch to be slightly in all the time, releasing some of the pressure plates calmping force, hence clutch slip.
To rectify this we removed the thrust bearing from the carrier and machined 10mm length from the bearing side of the carrier. We then pressed the bearing back on.
With the fork in the centre of the hole my distance from the front of the bellhousing to the thrust bearing was now 73mm, and i had over 10mm of movement in each direction.
Problem solved and now no more cutch slip.
If you want a drawing or any more info leave an amail address and i'll get back to you.
I would also like to recommend Western Brake and Clutch at St Marys to anyone. Excellent service and good pricing.
Cheers, Jono
