Re: Clutch Low Engagement(yea, I know it's a DSM)

I had the same issue awhile back and it ended up being the clutch fork, except mine even broke one of the fingers off. If that happened you can tell by relieving the slave cylinder pressure from the fork, but if its just bent i dont think you can. Oh and if I remember correctly act started using mitsu tob's.

Nope, side by side you can see the difference. I don't think it's a TOB issue though.

Possibly your clutch master.

Re: Clutch Low Engagement(yea, I know it's a DSM)

Had this problem all the time and i always got it fixed. IF: There are no bubbles in the system. The pivot ball has been shimmed. the flywheel is stepped properly. And everything you can think of has been done then i would seriously recommend extending the threaded master cylinder rod. On all three of my 1g's, this fixed my problem. Cut about 1/4-3/8'' of the threaded end off and have about a 1/2'' of some other bolt with the same thread welded on. Then reinstall and you should have instant engagement at the top. You are welcome to see it working on my bro's talon anytime.

Yea, I ended up welding a nut on 4 years ago on my maroon 1g. It worked great.
