Reply to "throw out and Clutch Pedal linkage"

quote:
I got the MC stroke of 1.25" from a downloaded LARGE excel file of "all things Pantera".
Mine is frozen solid! Using the slightly less MC stroke would cut down my expected 7" pedal stroke.

Reducing the MC stroke to 1" would reduce the pedal stroke to ~5.6"

the parts books and the TSB indicate differnt arm/shafts?

Yes, the parts book shows different numbers, but I have not had the opportunity to have both in hand to compare / measure. I do know that if the MC pushrod is adjusted too long, the linkage bellcrank will not move "over-center" and the result is that the clutch pedal cannot be depressed.

I think I measured the outer "B lever" at 2.5"

Yes, 2.5" is correct.

quote:
My desire with knowing this lever ratio is in setting the Throw out bearing pretravel. The instructions I have found (that make sense) is setting about 0.1" slave travel, but what would that be at the clutch fingers?

Don't know until the clutch arm / clutch fork ratio is determined. With the measurements that are in my notes, the ratio would be 0.725:1. Using 0.1" at the slave would give 0.0725" at the PP fingers.

did you have to re drill and pin the clutch pedal to rod to set the clutch position when you installed the kit?

No, I did not.
