LiftdT4R Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 By not working, I'm assuming you mean it always acts if the clutch is pulled it correct? What kind of fluid are you running in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel3190 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 none yet i pre soaked em in maxima trans. fluid that jeff sold me,but you know when its in gear and you push it how it catches but it will roll freely when the clutch is pulled in well it catches whether the clutch is pulled or not.Another prob im havin is my shifter slidin side to side in the case.

jlsparky7 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Make sure your clutch cable (were it comes out of the perch) is adjusted correctly. If that doesnt work take a look at this article, even if it isnt the prob you will probably learn something. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23champ Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 1. did you make sure you installed the pressure plater correctly? If you didnt , there wont be any clutch pull on the lever. 2. Did you line up the arrows? The clutch arm ( where the cable hooks to the arm on the cases) is shaped like an arrow on the end. That should line up with the arrow on your cases....kinda by where your VIN numbers are on your cases. 3. Are all the parts to the clutch installed correctly? There ia a little ball that goes inside the mainshaft. it sits between the pushrod and the pancake bearing (if you have a pancake bearing installed) 4. You should have enough freeplay in your lever that you can stick a nickle between the clutch perch and lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odaen Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'd call the same number when you bought the clutch and talk to him over the phone. But it sounds like Champ might be dead on. Take your pressure plate off and rotate it 90 degrees and put it back on. Before you put any screws in it, you should be able to see if it's fitting flush against the outside fiber. If not, rotate it again. I think there are aligment arrows for the orientation, but I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txalky Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I also would look at the pressure plate out of line, been there done that. What exactly is happening with the shifter? Moves left to right a little and hangs in gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moves left to right a little and hangs in gear? Yea it moves from left and right and if it aint in the right spot it wont shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jsut done my clutch and was having the same problem with my shifter. It would slide far enugh that it would all most slip off the star and was a real b*tch to shift. Dont know if its right or not but i put a washer on the shifter side to take up the slack, it should have some i'm sure just not sure why i have the extra play but it worked and shifts a lot better, on the clutch i think champ is dead on just go back through and start at square one.

txalky Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 NOW THAT IS SERVICE. The washer idea was something I had to do to mine years ago, I could not find the posts on it but all you do is shim the left side between the case cover and shifter with washers to take up the slack. EASY to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
