Clutch engagement right off floor.
Okay, so when I bought the Galant it needed a clutch, bad. And I had bought CornFed's used one from his car. I put it in the car and it works fine. Just the clutch engagement is right off the floor. I tried bleeding the clutch system multiple times and even messed around with the pedal adjustment. Neither worked.
So I have read about shimming the pivot ball on the trans when installing some aftermarket clutches do to this reason. However, most of the reading I have done leads me to believe that if the clutch fork is centered in the opening than there is no need to shim it. And with the trans in the car right now it is pretty close to center.
So would I still be able to shim it just to try and get the pedal engagement up a little more off the floor? Is it gonna hurt anything in the long run? I am getting ready to pull the trans to put the other one I got in and want to take care of this now that way I dont have to pull it again.
Oh clutch is a Comp pressure plate (equal to act 2600) Comp stage 4 sprung 6 puck. Thats the info I got when buying it.
