well i've got a HD daiken clutch put in the other day with a help of a mate of mine, it was all aligned right, bleed, and otherwise adjusted so the grab point is nice.- although seems though the grab point is just off the ground. although i'm still getting a slight "brrrrrrrr" noise like its still engaged when i'm not on the clutch and even more noticeable when its jsut sitting there in neutral. Someone told me i gotta shorten the rod going into the master clutch cylinder. is this right or wot? what should i do so adjust it correctly so its not constantly rubbing and wearing out??

thanks

ben

Hi skypy12, did you change the fork pivot? Most of the Daikins seem to be designed for the GTR pivot, which is 18 mm longer than a GTST pivot.

Looks like this

R33 GTR Pivot

If you don't, the clutch is too low to the floor and you aren't getting full release of the clutch plate. The other alternative is a longer shaft on the clutch slave cylinder.

Hope that helps

PS, this is what GTST pivot looks like when it breaks.

no i didn't change the fork pivot, wasn't aware of having to change it at all.

are u sure about a longer shaft on the clutch slave cylinder??........cos i asked one of my mates today and he said somthin about shortening it........though he could be wrong.

and btw is the fork pivot located near the clutch pedal or where? i don't konw too much about them, but thanks for the help

is there any possiblity that just adjusting the pedal will elimate the problem..or only to a certain degree????

and will the clutch get screwed up if i drive with it like this for a few day, not saying i will but just incase its not fixed immediatly and i need to drive somewhere? noise isn't greatly loud but can just hear it slightly if ya listen for it.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
