833 Transmission won't disengage at stop after 100 miles.

I was looking at the wire bail today, wondering if I could gain 1/4" towards the bellhousing by re-drilling the wire bail holes closer to the outboard edge.

I think too that I'm going to cut the brass pilot bushing with a hacksaw blade and chisel it out.

I have a few questions.

1) When installed with the correct pedal free play, etc. does the cluth fork tilt toward the front of the car? If not we will have a problem.

2) measuring from the flat area on the pressure plate how high or low are the fingers? The answer is usually some where between -.25 to .25 inches. If it is below the flat area in the pressure plate that can be an issue that is fairly eaily to correct.

While you are at it measure the height of each finger with everythung bolted down to ensure they are are within a 1/16" from the others. If the fingers are not even it is time to scrap the pressure plate and disc.

Definitely fix the z bar geometry. If any of the linkage is in a bind that means that all of the linkage is in a bind from pedal to the clutch fork rod.


If you are having issues disengaging the clutch, etc. and it was driven that way it might be time for a new clutch.

Lastly, is the .007 the total runout or half of that number? .007 TIR dies not require any corrective action as the spec is .010 TIR or less
