Hello gents,
Its been a while. My life is somewhat starting to get back to normal. I'm slowly getting around to working on some of my toys that have taken a back seat lately and that means playing around with my 48 p15.
I changed the oil and trans. Lube and while I was at it in the air I lubed all the grease zirks. So I've had this over the center spring for a few years now and finally got around to installing it. The clutch was rather hard to depress before even though it did have a helper spring. I think it was more for the reason to keep the throw out bearing from dragging. So I was stretching the spring at the same time of depressing the clutch I think. Anyway, I had to re-adjust the linkage between the clutch petal and the bellcrank and also the rod between the bellcrank and the clutch fork. It doesnt seem right to me. I read that the clutch petal should have about an inch of free play. Well after adjusting the petal it seems the clutch actually disengages about an inch and half after depressing the petal. Is this right? Before I reajusted everything it would disengage about half way to the floor. It all feels so differentbecause of the spring so I'm having a hard time figuring out where it should engage or disengage, how ever you put it.
I did try to move the adjustment down some so the clutch would disengage a little farther away from completely up, but the clutch petal would just fall a bit from completely up. So it wouldn't even have the need for the stop. Well I knew that wasn't right so I returned it to the first position. The clutch definately dissengages but im not sure if it has enough room so that it can completely engage.
I hope I haven't confused you all. How far down does your petal go before disengaging from the clutch? All help and opinions welcome.
Thanks
Darren Chafin
