I did adjust the clutch pedal so it's closer to the driver (farther from the engine). Now when it's fully depressed the clutch will disengage more? Shifts weren't as clunky after I took it for a quick spin, I'll be able to tell tomorrow morning when it's cool again.
@ BRX I didn't notice any oil residue on the intake, I just put a CAI in and it looked clean.
In all honesty it smells more hot than chemically. If that makes any sense. |
Yep, that's the adjustment I was referring to.
What you are trying to achieve is that when the clutch pedal is pushed all the way to the floor, it fully disengages (the pressure plate is no longer pushing the clutch disk against the flywheel). When you fully let up on the pedal, the clutch is fully engaged (the pressure plate is pushing the clutch disk against the flywheel with its full force.
Note: It's important to have a little "free play" in the clutch pedal travel when the clutch is fully engaged (let out all the way). In other words, when the clutch is fully released there should be a bit of distance in its downward travel before it starts to do anything.
Back in the day with mechanical clutch linkage ....... oh, never mind .......
I hope you get it working right ......
