Clutch Csc Help Please

[tamz]

Hey guys, I recently had my extreme ceramic clutch rebuilt (yes I know malwood would have been better but unfortunately didnt have the funds) and now in the process of refitting it... I've heard a few things about shimming the clutch slave cylinder to get the correct travel and operating heights of the clutch pedal.. Could someone pls clarify this to me.. How do I go about measuring and from which points? I did the T56 conversion and far as I know it has a standard 2mm spacer behind the CSC...

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Tam

was the clutch height/feel okay before the clutch was rebuilt? why did it fail/need to be rebuilt?

There are specs on the net avialbe for CSC clearance. You need to measure the distance from mounting face on the bell housing too the clutch pressure plate spring fingers (A), you then neeed to measure from the front of the gearbox to the thrust bearing on the retracted CSC(B)

Subtract A from B too determine the clearance

the link below will give you the method but not the specs. They should be in the manual. I dont have these specs

Or ring Mal Wood and ask him too run you through it,he will probably tell you off for buying a shite clutch but he would also be a good source for the

spacer plates you need

The clutch was fine and had no problems at all handled around 360kw for 60,000kms with no probs what so ever... After I ditched the 5spd n fitted the T56 it only lasted a couple months and the release point was really high thus kept stalling but didn't really feel it slipping... So I took It out n got it rebuilt with better pucks, diaphram and more clamp load...

Thanks Alot for that link been hunting everywhere for a diagram like that...

I also found this on mals ace clutch site http://www.aceclutch.com.au/pdf/Clutch_Fitting_Tips.pdf

The manual doesn't say the measurements and I even called Extreme and they didt have any specs either... So I'm thinking 14-17mm.. But just want to make sure and get it right... .

Not planning to keep the car for much longer which is why I just resorted to rebuildin the extreme clutch... Already spent Alot of money on it... Now need to fund other projects lol
