help? clutch wont disengage
Some ramblings from the old guy
Take a good look at your linkage, preferably with a pal to help move the linkage so you can see what's up. On many of these conversions, you don't exactly have a factory situtation, so it's possible/ probable that part/ some/ all of the linkage "doesn't belong."
What you want to look for is that ever single lever point, that is, where a lever meets the pushrods, goes "over center" aproximately equally for the longest stroke.
I stole this from year one:
Notice that the lower lever on the z bar is "slightly forward" and that as you push down, it will go over center and "slightly back." You want each lever in the linkage--the pedal, the upper lever, the lower lever, all to do this same thing, otherwise as each lever starts to "lay down" you lose stroke.
(You may have one pushrod out of the wrong combo, might be too long/ too short)
Also do NOT discount the idea that your pressure plate may have a problem, or that you have a disk that is not compatible. The other day I saw a post where an aftermarket wheel was hitting the hub on a clutch disk. Get a buddy to operate the clutch, crawl under there and actually see how much clearance you are getting.
ANY chance you have the disk in front to rear?
