...Wow...

I must be king idiot or something.

I RE-DID my clutch. Well, re-did it tranny back. Turns out one of the TO clips was infact on wrong. I fixed that, and figured i was fine. Turns out i didn't do shit. Same exact problem as before.

Strange thing is, i'm not even mad. Just...dumbfounded. All that work was like practice, and that's it.

Just to make sure...but Valvoline 80w-90 "high performance" gear oil can be used in the tranny, right?

Problem remains (how i see it) at clutch is not disengaging fully.

- Clutch pedal runs into the floor


Is there any pedal adjustment on the "0"gens?

I did my 2600 in my 2G and had the EXACT same problems you have until i realized that my pedal was hitting the floor before the clutch master cyl was pushed in all the way. I adjusted my pedal to bottom out the clutch master cyl as it hit the floor and everything works great.

Well i adjusted my pedal ALL the way up, so that you would get the fullest pedal possible. That did nothing except put my pedal really high.

Another "Magnus trick" is to put a fatty lock-washer under the pivot point for the clutch release fork. About 2mm thick washer should increase the travel of your TOB and disengage the clutch. You gotta' take the trans down though.........that sux.
