Re: clutch release problem

[wojee]

Wardy, I replaced both master cylinder and slave cylinders, still did it!!!  Bleeding the system it was great for about 30 kms then crunch crunch again........ tightened up the pressure plate to flywheel bolts and I haven't herd a peep out of it since...... however its be off hte road for 4 months i think now.... cracked top landing on #4 piston.  So i am getting the forged ones under way and am going to get a manifold, either bought or made, and get an intercooler made up -  custom.  Things that really should have been done at the start.  Ah well live and learn.

Take the gear box off and tighten the clutch / pressure plate bolts.......... don't ask me why but it stopped after that..... Wojee :O)   Mark Ward wrote: Those who have done the FJ to 510 conversion using the ZL71B gearbox, did you have any problems with insufficient clutch release ?  I've maxed out the pedal adjustment but I still think it's not enough because when stationary and going into reverse there's a loud crunch.  Also every change up or down through 2nd clashes, 3rd and 5th are starting to clash as well.  The thing is, when the gearbox/motor is cold it doesn't happen.  The clutch is a stocker, and in good nick.  Ideas ?
