Hello Doug,
I began the thread about the bloody awful Clutch because I couldn't get it to work.
I won't repeat all that I did to try and fix it,
or you will all become like me and enrol in the nearest Asylum.
The thing that really hurts, is the fact that my old well worn clutch and its Effort reduction system ( that I didn't know was fitted) worked perfectly.
I disconnected the er system got a long throw slave but I know I don't have the answer.
I am going to write to Dennis and ask for advice but your comments are on the money.
We could also start an argument about Politicians, but I fear ours are just as bad as yours.
If you do find the cause of the problem, I would like to be the first to know.
The cause of the problems with politicians? No. My doctor will not permit me to discuss that. She fears for my life from 1) stress 2) bodily harm for speaking truth to power.
Go the money and call Denis on this.
Theoretically you have done everything right. Let him go over it with you step by step.
In my mind, one of the parts has to be wrong. It must have been mismarked or substituted for.
Ask Dennis if he personally check every part that he sent you or if he just had his "shipping department" re-box it?
Also ask him if the throw-out bearing is a full contact (always in contact) part. Those these days are also referred to as a ceramic surfaced TO bearing.
Careful there though. Your fingers on the pressure plate need to be specially hardened in order to permit that to prevent rapid wear on them.
If you have an aluminum flywheel, that could be the source of the problem right there. The brass ring that is inserted maybe could not be completely seated in the pocket in the flywheel itself.
If the bolts that hold the pressure plate together are not tight enough, the fingers will be too high. That's a long shot as a possibility but possible.
Other than that, send me a 'plane ticket. Pick me up at the airport.
I don't eat much, but none of this kidney pie stuff. Maybe fish and chips? They both need to be very crispy. I don't suppose you know what Buffalo wings are right? Either a pretty wench and a little beer, or a not so pretty one and a lot of beer.
Hey! We drink cold beer here. Bud Light, Amstel Light, some kind of light beer. "Tastes great...less filling".
I'll watch your "football". Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea will do.
Oh, BOAC is good. Not coach.
