Jack -
Thank you for your help.
I don't really know which lever is installed, but
based on your description, I suspect that it is the
one from the PU truck. If anything the lever looks
like it is a little too long, causing the slave to
push and not get much in return motion.
Maybe you can help me with this as I don't see how
changing the length of the pushrod (+ or -1/4 inch)
will have much effect on the overall throw of the
lever, unless the slave if fully extended, which it is
not. I can try a longer lever, but it seems that the
clutch cover will push back the lever/rod that much
further into the slave - resulting in the same amount
of movement (not enough), only from a slightly
different piston position...
If the slave moves say, "1 inch" seems that it needs
to move 1 1/2 inches to fully disengage the clutch.
Only way I can see to move it farther is to pump more
fluid through it. Another thought is that my slave is
not moving far enough to start with - any ideas on how
far a stock BN7 slave should move?
thanks again
