New Clutch.....Problems
I got the car back up on the stands this morning and removed the inspection cover. Look at the face of the disc using an inspection mirror. I could see that the pressure plate fingers had come in contact with the clutch disc damping springs. See arrow in 1st picture.
It pretty obvious that when the pedal is at the floor I was getting too much plate departure or at least over traveling the fingers.
What bothers me some is that not all of the springs made contact with the fingers. Some were had a fair amount of scrapping while others had none.
The FSM says that the the free play in the linkage should be 5/32" at the end of the fork. I had much less than that. 5/32" seems to be quite a lot. I have it set now at about 1/8" and I'm getting a gap of about .050" between the pressure plate and disc with the pedal to the floor. See arrow in 2nd picture....
I think it is time to put the car back on the ground and give clutch another try.
