Reply to "Slave Adjustment"

Well that went over like a lead balloon. I fabricated the bolt/spreader device, but the area to work in is just too small next to the slave bottom where I was hoping to push open the clutch arm by placing it between the clutch arm and trans. My next thought is to just place a thick bolt under the salve between the clutch arm and trans as the wife pushes the clutch pedal slightly. Then when she lets go of the pedal slowly, pressure from the trans arm will be on that inserted bolt and it should free up pressure on the slave so that at least I can see if I can push the rod into the slave further than it is now. If the rod pushes in further by hand, then I would guess the slave is ok and something is preventing the trans arm from returning further. Funny thing is that it all runs great, shifts perfect with no strange noises with clutch pedal in or clutch pedal out. It is just at this final end of clutch arm release that it doesn't seem to want to return further to give play at the arm. Maybe I just drive it and fagetaboutit. Or maybe I just drive it up to Byars to take a look see before I loose a finger messing in that small clutch arm area while da wife presses the pedal. I would need a nice secure large diameter bolt or some type of good metal piece to temporarily hold that clutch arm open.
