As some of you may know I've been chasing around a noise in my engine bay...During my inspection I found the clutch fork rattling a bit. I got in to start it up and the clutch pedal fell to the floor and would not return. (yeah fair to say I'm not to happy about that) i have attached a components view of the clutch assembly.
I was able to return the pedal by pushing on the clutch Fork(release collar fork#8)towards the release cylinder, (#4 some might call it a slave cylinder) I had an assistant try to work the pedal while i observed the movement of the release cylinder and the fork. It seems the cylinder is traveling but not enough to move the fork. The end of the rod on the release cylinder has a little ball type end on it and is supposed to fit into the concave portion of the fork. Well, it sit in there but loosely. In fact its loose enough that I can re-adjust and/or re-position it further up the fork closer to the collar almost nudging up against the rubber dust grommet/cover. How much travel of the release cylinder is there supposed to be?
So what do you guys think? Is it the Fork/Collar ? Or the release Cylinder? And are either of these adjustable? AND ...would adjusting the pedal travel make a difference?
Thanks guys!
