Clutch Adjustment?

Hi Micky,

As far as I am aware, and unless somebody knows different, the clutch
is hydraulic operated and does not have a cable for any adjustment.

The clutch slave cylinder is fed by the same master cylinder that
operates the brakes, located near the bulkhead in the engine bay.

Sounds to me like, when you had the new clutch fitted either the
clutch plate was not centralised, or the clutch operating arm is not
sat in its correct place.

Yep, no arm/fork etc on these. It's just a doughnut shaped slave cylinder which the gearbox shaft runs through the middle off. On the gearbox bellhousing, you see a hydraulic tube and a bleed which disappear through a rubbery/plasticy squarish thing and that's all. All the hydraulic action takes place inside the bellhousing, and the hydraulic slave cylinder acts directly on the release bearing. Infact, the release bearing and slave cylinder are the same part, mounted with 3 little bolts inside the bellhousing.

There's really not much you can adjust - it's either bled properly or it isn't. If it's not bled properly, the clutch pedal wouldn't feel a great deal different, but the clutch wouldn't fully disengage with the pedal depressed, and the symptom would be crunchy or difficult gearchanges.

The new clutch fingers might just be harder steel than the old one. Not really sure where you can go with this, short of removing the gearbox again and looking at the clutch.
