hey guys i recently got my h/d excedy clutch kit put in about 3 months ago and my clutch grabing point is right at the end when i drive for over 30min, but in the first week it was kind of in the middle can anyone tell me if this is normal because its a pull type clutch or is my pivot fork stuffed?

i didnt know they where adjustable?

where do i do that ?

Adjust the rod that goes the pedal.

If you do a search you will find pics that I put up a ling time ago ( a year or so ago).

I have a similar thing, when I first had the clutch installed and fitted the biting point was real low which was good.

Now it seems to be high again, but perhaps I am just getting used to it.

I had the pedal adjusted, but it still feels high?

Is it because I am used to it? it still doesnt feel as nice as the first time I drove it after the Exedy HD install.

yes it does feel abit springy i ended up adjusting the clutch abit more down but its still feel the click... i think its effecting my gearbox because when i select it too 1st while driving slow to second i can feel a quike crunch but when i rev the gear out it doesnt grind but very rarley it doesnt go in at all i have to pump the clutch twice to get it in...

if its redline shockproof you put in your gearbox you might want to change it asap. Apparently the stuff makes the gear changes real smooth at first but the getrag gear boxes don't like the stuff (ie. they break). Do a search for getrag oils and you'll find some useful threads.

If you wanna skip that, one of the recommended oils was castrol transmax Z.

All r34 owners always complain about this everytime they get a new clutch ..

The r34 hydro clutch releases high .. its obviously designed for burn outs and high speed changes so you can just drop it :)

But seriously everyone ive heard from always says the clutch is so low .. next week they wine and say its back to when they changed it .. the r34 is just made that way dont think its changable..

And the metal to metal sound doesnt sound good but I always hear the gear box working when I shift (stationary) most cars do .. In motion dont hear much just a bluddy loud exhaust..

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
