Clutch Help!

[BenA31]

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

Is it a twin plate?

[BenA31]

nah just a single plate Heavy Duty

[Steve]

did you replace the throw out bearing?

[BenA31]

yup it was part of the kit

[Steve]

well thats me out of ideas, I have a twin plate which chatters when the clutch is in, but never heard of a single being noisey.

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.

u maybe able to get more travel by adjusting the pedal u have to have a look , like sydney kid said a longer slave shaft will do the trick also , if u shorten it u want have clutch at all .
