Rosey's car has been a battle! We never did get the axles out of wheel hubs (link (http://mitsustyle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28669)) but we did get the trans off, new clutch installed, and got the car all back together yesterday afternoon. Yippee! Pedal engagement feels fine, this is an Exedy Stage1 HD clutch, it looks almost identical to stock.
When you put the car in gear, and let the clutch out, it starts to lurch and maybe rolls 6 inches, then nothing. You can let the clutch pedal out all the way and it will make some noise like it is trying/starting to engage but it goes nowhere.
Troubleshooting:
-trans bolts are tight and trans is flush against block
-bled clutch/slave cyl, seems perfect
-TOB slides smoothly back and forth, clicked into place perfectly and lifts PP fingers as it is supposed to.
-completely unhooked slave cyl from clutch fork, put car in gear and bumped starter. Car goes nowhere. (this was a nailbiter but I had to try it).
Background/reminders:
-this is a pull-style clutch so by default it is engaged.
-flywheel was machined flat
-pressure plate was bolted down to spec (15 ft-lbs) and sits flush against flywheel
Todo:
-check xfer case alignment/flush to trans
-put car on jackstands, start car in gear, see if input shaft is spinning inside pressure plate
Side note: if anyone can lend a hand, its xmas and I have very limited time to work on this, late tonight or monday night are the only times I may be able to help Rosey. I'm leaving for xmas thursday and will be gone the entire following week through new year's. I'll have Mike post his number, the car is at my house.
