Clutch Problems..(push Or Pull?

[BrynDETT]

hey every1.. after finally gettin my silvia running i found that the clutch wouldent disengage.. so i tried bleeding it and that didnt help then i looked through the hole where the fork goes through and measured the fork movement (20mm) and everything seemed to be working fine( the fork was moving the diaphragm heaps) ... so this afternoon i pulled the box off and my mate is not shure but thinks this is a pull type clutch... can anybody please tell me?? running rb26 with a rb25 box .. thankyou.. wat a pain in the ass...

did you buy the clutch new? did it say on the box or when you bought it?

do you still have the rb26box so you can have a look where the slave cylinder bolted?

[BrynDETT]

hey mate... no i dont have the gtr box.. i bought this car off a work mate as an unfinished project.. i rang him before and he said he just told npc he wanted a clutch for a rb26 with a rb25 gearbox... i have standard silvia master and standard rb25 slave.. my mate bought the motor by itself.. its a r34 motor

by the way i ended up gettin the microtech software to work... had to use xp

sweet, good to hear about the software, too bad you cant drive it now with no clutch lol.

google images and see rb 26 push clutch and rb26 pull clutch and see which one looks like yours.

That's definitely a push type pressure plate, the RB pull units look like this:

push type

tried adjusting the pedal?

[BrynDETT]

didnt try adjusting the pedal... but the piston was nearly coming all the way out of the slave.. so we tried a bigger shaft in the slave and still no good.. the fork was moving the fingers 20mm... just looks suspect how on that pull type clutch andrew posted u see the fingers curve up at the end.. mine does that to......

[BrynDETT]

anybody have and ideas why this wouldent work then?? ive got a billet flywheel aswell... i think its a bit thinner then standard... should i have a differnet throughout bearing aswell or something??

[DVS JEZ]

you need to see how far you can adjust the pedal box and get the maximum travel out of the slave cylinder. then hopefully the release bearing doesnt pop off the slide shaft

[BrynDETT]

its not that... i rang npc today and they are confused as the why this is happening... the only thing they can think of it is to see if the pressure plate is working correctly.. ive gotta drive up there in the next few days... ill post up when i figure it out.. thanx mate

[DVS JEZ]

any news on this? got it fixed???

[BrynDETT]

oh sorry mate yeah.. took it to npc and the problem was with the pressure plate... i think they said the release springs or something?? all fixed now.. just a million other thing do now haha

[DVS JEZ]
