Jim, Allan, Bill and Garrick;
This lengthening of the pushrod trick causes me great confusion.
First off Garrick and Travis have differant set-ups, Garrick is a SII and
Travis has a SIIA in his SIII. These are very similar, hovever the difference
may be part of the problem. I personally have a SII and have pondered this
very same lack of clutch actuation often.
First lets all look and make sure that the Master cylinder is providing full
stroke thereby putting the most fluid to the slave cylinder. Secondly lets
look at the amount of play at the throw out mechanism. The rotational play of
the shaft prior to making the forks push the bearing/sleeve into contact with
the pressure plate. Thirdly I would sugesst that we start with the piston
pushed back as far as possible into the slave cylinder. Now rotate the
throwout shaft until contact is made with the pressure plate. Adjust the slave
cylinder rod to make contact with the outer face of the piston. If the rod is
to short at it longest then allow the piston to move down in the slave cylinder
until it contacts the shaft. Bleed the system now.
So here we have the master cylinder set to move the most fluid, the throw out
ready to press on the pressure plate and hydraulics ready to fill the slave as
a result of the displacement in the master cylinder.
Are there any faults to this practice? please reply.
