Clutch Problem Please Help!1

[datto_sw]

hey guys i have just installed a os twin plate clutch in to 31 with an rb25 neo and running a rb20 silvertop gear box. i changed the thrust bearing for the right one and stuff, but once i bolted every thing up i tried putting the slave cylender on and the fork is way too far forward. like i can get one bolt in it but just not the other. The fork and everything is in right way so dont know what it could be, any ideas? ive tried releasing the nipple too.

thanks

you need to speak to Adelaide clutch services and go and get yourself a 12mm bearing carrier and put that in as well.

It's simple. The clutch has a different throw than the last. The way to overcome this is to modify the slave cylinder rod length. Shorten the rod inside the slave. Take it out and hold the slave cylinder back from the gearbox lining the bolt holes up by eye and then have a look at how much of the rod you need to shorten so it sits comfortably in the fork, then cut it accordingly. Dont make it a tight fit tho, you dont want your fork with constant pressure on the thrust bearing all the time if you can help it.

As Ryan said. Same had to be done to my car when the clutch was changed.

Yeah i tried that already i cut the rod so it is pressing against the fork firmly but not too hard. Then i put the gearbox in gear and put the clutch in and tried spinning the back wheels when they were off the ground but they are locked....and obviously spin freely when in netrual.

i thought maybe i cut too much off so i tried putting spaces but its still not engaging.

Any ideas?

Maybe i just need the right casrrier?

yerh i rekon you need the right carrier, you dont want to cut any more off it lol
