So I am still having issues with the clutch dragging and keeping me from downshifting to first. I know it drags because of the old put it in first, redline it and it creeps forward. I have tried to adjust the pedal and whether full in, middle or out it never fixes it, if I adjust full in I get almost no clutch travel, middle and full out are about the same.
Here are the details:
Flywheel, Machine shop says its true and the step right now is .829
New Clutch Master (Oreilly Auto)
New Clutch Slave (Oreilly Auto)
New Clutch and Pressure Plate (IPS/Southbend)
New Clutch Fork, TOB and pivot ball (Mitsu)
My current thoughts are as follows:
A) The Slave from Oreilly has a different size bore, I cant remember if its smaller or bigger, but if its larger it could be an issue of the amount of fluid pushed into the slave isnt adequate enough to move it the full length needed. Tonight I plan to swap the OEM one that popped apart back in. After finding the fork all sloppy I think the reason it popped apart was the slack in the fork.
B) The clutch booster/pedal. If there is some sort of diaphragm or bushing between the linkage inside the car and the rod that goes into the master. Obviously if there is I could have a failure point there. Even with the vac hose disconnected it feels the same, but I have noticed that when I boost the car up then use it the pedal feels firmer, even though my check valve in the hose is oriented for vac only and seems to hold firm. However if it is leaking by and the air forced into the diaphragm pressurizes and makes the booster work correctly then I have an issue with the booster. In which case I am thinking, manual clutch pedal from an NA or new/used booster.
