RA:
Any chance that at 2:15AM the clutch slave got installed on the
wrong side of its mounting plate? I get very punchy when I stay up past
my bedtime...

Subject: Baffling clutch issues
OK, so a buddy comes over last night for a relatively quick rebuild on
his clutch master and slave - that was around 9:00 p.m. Shawn's car is
his daily driver and he's had it for fifteen years or so, so he's knows
what he's doing. Toad and I are mainly providing moral support by
consuming Newcastle beer, but then after the rebuild the grinding noise
is very, very bad. Several bleeds and swapping out a master that I had
lying around provided no relief. Finally at 2:15 a.m. he went home
grinding away until we had more energy & a fix.
The clutch was recently replaced and we put a bolt in the cross-shaft at
the time to do away with the broken taper pin issue. The clutch is a
Sachs with a Koyo t/o bearing. Both the master and slave were rebuilt
with no relief.
There is some slop in the clevis pin and linkage where some of the holes
aren't brand new, but I'm worried that something else is at play.
Ideas, options?
Presently sucking up black coffee in hopes of energy.
