Hi,
I'm a new owner of a 1979 Triumph Spitfire 1500, and a
new subscriber to this mailing list. Possibly there
has been some discussion of this in the past; however, my
issue relates to the clutch on the Spitfire. The clutch
will not disengage. We have removed the gear-box and
inspected the clutch and it checks out ok, put re-build
kits in both the clutch master cyliner and slave cylinder.
After re-assembly and bleeding the system, the only way we
could get it to work was to add about 1/4" to the activating
pin at the slave cylinder. However, it only disengages at the
very end of the clutch pedal travel. There appears to be no
method of adjusting the clutch pedal travel or free-play. Is
this common? Is there something I'm missing? What should I
expect? Any and all suggestions and help would be appreciated.
