Another Adjusting Problem on my WB!!!

[wbute]

Hey buck they often get seized up because they run too close to the extractors(if it has them).

When i put the gearbox back in after the rebuild i had not taken a photo of where the spring mounts to hold the clutch cable away from the extractors, i have just attached the spring to one of the brake lines to hold it away from them.
also forgot about the clutch fork cover which got a little toastie resting on the extractors (nice smell) not!

its very cold on the garage floor at the moment, i hope these picks help, just remember it a v8 4speed with clutch fork cover removed, please excuse the mess, that is from the old engine 25 years of mud cow shit and oil, just have not got around to cleaning yet. the oil on the cable is chain oil, you must lubricate the cable inside so it doesnt snap after a couple of years

Your lucky!! I have a damp dirt/grass floor at the moment.. lol Yep, they help heaps.. My clutch fork is heaps closer to the front of the opening, and the clutch cable is wound right out as far as it will go.. How do you lubricate the cable??? Just squirt some down the cable and move it back and forth??

Haha, I have no extractors on that side!! But hopefully not for long.. Can't wait to get a decent V8 in there..

I am looking for one of those clutch for covers, I don't know where mine went and I need one of those cause you definately don't want water and shit getting in there!! lol

if it has an aftermarket clutch kit in it the thrust bearing is probably smaller than the original,thats why it has the clamp there but the correct way to fix it is adjust the ball that the fork pivots on . the thrust bearing doesnt need to be much shorter to cause problems because your clutch works on a leverage system .i have had this problem twice and have fixed it by adjusting the ball that the fork pivots on . it only takes 1-2 mm adjustment

I have no idea what clutch has been put in it.. I've never had the gearbox separated from the motor either.. lol I'll give her a go and hopefully it doesn't take too much to fix it..
