HARLAN. I will be there. Just reserved my room at SvendsgaardsFor you roadster folks attending, It is only 5 months. Accommodations can be limited. If you want to stay at Svendsgarrds ( THE Solvang Roadster Classic Headquarters), better get a room now.Ted.Statistics: Posted by ted heaton — Tue Nov 13, 2018 6:02 pm

I think if there were two pilots something would have failed a long time ago- not enough room for two. Nope, moderate differences in flywheel thickness would have no consequence. (As long as proper clutch free play was obtained) If there were ZERO free play, or riding the clutch— those could kill it. More than […]

Uh Oh, has Lorna hacked into Gregs account?? ...I kid.Remember, the input shaft doesn't move (axially). The clutch disc is engaged on the splines of the input shaft so it can float when the pressureplate/flywheel sandwich it.On that note, didn't I read in one of the posts here about someone installing two pilot bushings by […]

I guess the thinner flywheel idea does not make sense as I imagine this, but the thickness of the backing plate could as the distance that the trans input shaft travels is based on how much distance there is between the trans and the block, determined by the plate thickness, right?Statistics: Posted by Gregs672000 — […]

That sucks Greg. I really hope it was caught early enough not to be terminal!!You successfully saved me from 1/2 hour work this morning though....went down the rabbit hole of crank thrust and found a pretty good post about the issue and thought I'd post it here to add to the knowledge base. It's based […]

Somebody wanna measure the thickness of a 2liter backing plate? Maybe the PO switched them years ago before I owned the car and I never knew. Not the original engine, trans unknown.Statistics: Posted by Gregs672000 — Tue Nov 13, 2018 3:15 pm

I think the difficulty getting it into 1st gear is related. I think there's gonna be a flywheel issue. SOMETHING is forcing the crank forward constantly. With the rpms dropping when I engage the clutch (as I recall anyway) that makes even more sense. But...?Statistics: Posted by Gregs672000 — Tue Nov 13, 2018 3:10 pm

Could the transmission input shaft be pressing on the crank? 1600 spacer plate? Slave cylinder too tight?Stock 2 liter spacer. The slave had about 1/4 free play at least... I could wiggle the arm. I think I sold or more likely gave away my old lightened steel flywheel so I don't have anything to compare […]

The problem you are seeing is caused by keeping the clutch depressed for long periods of time while waiting for a light change or sitting in traffic with the clutch depressed. What happens is all the oil gets displaced from the thrust surface when the clutch is in use and cannot lubricate the bearing and […]
