I have almost an inch of throw -you can poke a screwdriver in and spin the clutch disk with the pedal depressed so it is disengaging all the way. One guy said I have the wrong clutch disk (too small) but also said that wasn't the problem. He said "synchros" and I believe him -just don't understand why the problem would surface just after a clutch change. The car shows 58,000 miles. It runs fantastic but shows some signs of abuse -I think you would have to be really hard on a trans to blow the synchros in 58,000 miles!
It has no problem at any speed going into first, fourth or fifth -you can sort of "feel" the synchro when downshifting to first. I don't get that feel at all in second -a little in third. I usually start out in second and carefully shift to third.
Hey Coz! Wanna do my trans?? I don't live TOO far!!
