bad pressure plate or something else??????? pics inside
You are probably right but it is an over travel issue. I mentioned this in the other thread.
Your hydraulic clutch may have moving it as far as it needed to go but you (when the peddle was getting hard) were pushing it beyond what was needed.
One way to check this is with a feeler gauge. Take the inspection cover off, press in the clutch and insert a feeler gauge between the clutch disk and the pressure plate (can't remember the size of feeler gauge that should fit but it is very small).
i understand what you are saying, but my idea behind it, even when the pedal was hard to push, it was still moving the clutch fork maybe one inch.now, do not forget, i have no hump in the car, so i can sit there and watch exactly what is going on.and when the first little bit i push the clutch, it does not move underneath, but the moment the pedal gets hard to push, is when it has its first movement on the fork
also, it does it with the factory setup too.?
and, all the damage to the clutch plate was a prior problem, as there is alot of metal shaving thrown around in there, leading me to believe that the p.p is shot.
when i took the bell off, i was playing with the 3 forks that are on the p.p, while it was still bolted to the flywheel, and one of the forks was not sitting even with the others. only when i banged it some with my palm, did it snap back inot place.
i appreciate all the help guys. money is tight, and i really do not have the money for a clutch right now, so if i can figure it not to be the clutch, that would be great.lol
