marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...Last week I fired up my new engine for the first time. After breaking in the cam for 20 minutes, I tried shifting into 1st gear and reverse. ALL brand-new pressure plate, disk, throw-out, pilot etc. I did not force it as it was starting to 'grind'. The cure was: With the engine OFF and the Emergency brake ON tight. Put the Transaxle into Reverse gear. First push 'in' the clutch pedal all the way to the floor(clutch released) and now START the engine. The clutch will drag(pull against the brake)for a few seconds and then will 'free-up'. This was done after the clutch was precisely adjusted. I used the McLoed plate and Disk. And the adjustment was very close to where the original was; except a 'little' tighter!(adjusting rod extended further with Less play for the T.O. Bearing at the 'top' of being released). Try it, this may work for you...
