Hi all
For a while i have been noting that the “ bite” on the clutch is getting higher on the pedal travel. Pretty much now its right at the top.
Last week had some slippage under load.
Have taken engine out and have got the clutch on the bench.
Clutch pad is 7.5 mm thick. Alt parts put new thickness at 8.2 mm? That doesnt seem like an unduly worn pad. Looks like plenty of meat on the unit too.
The clutch release bearing is spring loaded and is constant contact with the release fingers.
Does any one have any specific dimensions that i can check ie spring preload measure, height of release fingers compared to clutch body etc.
After consulting the interweb i understand that as the pad wears the release fingers get higher and thence move the release bearing back against the spring which raises the “bite” position on the pedal travel.
However this suggests my pad is too worn, or there is too much spring pressure, or diaphragm spring has lost its muscle??
Any thoughts ?
The clutch was a complete replacement unit ex Morgan in 2020.
The release bearing can be pushed back against the spring quite easily
If i get pad relined, what is max thickness can go to?
Thank you for any/all advice
