Clutch Fork Range of Motion A903
Well there is another issue I guess.
I read my service manual and I also saw the setting for ½" of free play; I currently have absolutely zero free play at the clutch pedal.
The clutch pedal at rest seems low and if I adjust the clutch rod for ½" free play the pedal is even lower when it engages the clutch fork and thus the travel is even less.
Some pics...
First the over center spring. It came from a 66 Valiant and the two pronged hook is hand made.
The oddball trans fork push rod is made up from several spares from my tool box.
The clutch rod is also from the 66 Valiant (along with some D100 parts and miscellaneous items).
What I started with.
The clutch pushrod was from a van and I just set it in place to mock up the exhaust.
So the questions are: possible issues with the over center spring? The car never came with one and looking at the above pic there are no witness marks that indicate there ever was one. And as set up you can see it doesn't look aligned at all. I was going off pics for the hook since I didn't have one and the one from the junkyard 66 wouldn't line up.
Maybe I need a longer clutch rod that positions the pedal higher?
Maybe a combination of the two?
