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..

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
