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.
