What's hiding under the diamond plate will dictate that price

why not just get another charge controller for the battery like you're doing with the Lithium. Use the solar to charge both Or maybe a charge controller that can do both A few weeks isn't a long time to sit either, a good battery should have no...

Messed with it last night for a bit and think it could be an air bleeding problem. I have a SS hose between the master and slave instead of the stock hardline. So kept it plumbed in and pulled the slave so I could take a look. Pushed the piston...

Mounting is the same can't really mess that up. If anything i'll shorten the old one and keep the new. Have some stuff to try after work will report back

Works for me I should be able to handle that. Thanks!

It can’t be that far off. Can’t. That’s a rabbit hole you don’t need to go down. If you’re not comfortable with grinding a little off the tip, take a die and put a few more threads on the rod. M10x1.25. Over the last four decades I’ve probably...

I'm not home with the slave cylinder but how are they assembled or what keeps the piston in? The schematics i've seen and rebuild kits show two seals on the piston but don't show anything on how it's assembled. Does the piston somehow just sit...

Ok I see what you're saying i'll have to look into that Not sure how well clutch worked with the old setup I just changed it all when I baselined it. But looking at the old rod it's been adjusted like that for a while so was probably fine

True it would be a repair and test shop. Gross polluter doesn't matter they'll still put that money toward getting it fixed

There's a program not many know about but you can call and they give you an $850 voucher to go toward smogging your car. I've dropped off multiple with check engine lights and other issues and came back later with a certificate.

threw away the old slave cylinder but kept the rod they're the same. I did disconnect the pedal from the master linkage but ran out of time to test further last night.

Disconnect the pedal from the actuating rod to confirm or eliminate that possibility

We don't have inspections either. You can have a complete rust bucket with no brakes, signals, lights but as long as it passes smog somehow you're good

Yes, I have some play before I can feel it start to work. I was thinking if it was way out of adjustment at the pedal, so the master is engaged even when my foot is off it could give me these symptoms? Like the clutch pedal was pushed down...

Is the rod pulled too far out of the slave cylinder body? The piston and o-ring can pop out when the cylinder is not installed. Maybe it got installed that way and the piston is off center so it wont go back into the body.

If all else fails, shave an 1/8” off the rounded end of the pushrod that sits inside the slave cylinder, file a new dome on it, and call it a day. That’s a tip from my Asian cousin: Lo Tec. 😉

Thanks for the pics. The whole threaded portion of the rod is on the other side past the fork end. I installed it as it came out of the box. 'll have to check it out but I guess anything is possible

This might be a dumb question as i'm learning how it all works mechanically but on these early ones with the return spring, at idle in neutral would the throwout bearing be spinning? Edit: Got my answer from searching it shouldn't. Which it...

I'll have to check on the pivot point and the model as well, might even have the old one to compare it too. But it's adjustable where the newer ones aren't so unless the rod on them got switched don't see it being that.

That photo looks like the TO bearing is on the fork correctly. Inside the bellhousing is a mushroom-shaped piece that the fork pivots on - maybe investigate that. If the fork has some twisting or up and down rotation/movement, it's likely not...

Thanks for the reply. It's an Aisin from Cruiser Corps with a brand new master cylinder from them as well. No i'm not sure honestly. It's new to me and just got it driving. It shifts fine but what led me to look into it further is i'm getting a...

Ok had time to mess with it this weekend. I'm out of adjustment on the slave cylinder rod and there's still not enough play. Looks like i'm around 2mm or so and I feel like the bearing is still riding on the clutch disc. Spring can't pull it...

Washing it with Comet first to get all of the initial dirt and first layer off. Then a random orbital polisher with Griots complete compound and a couple different pads.

Slowly but surely. Too hot after work so can only do a panel in the morning before leaving everyday.

Ok Thanks. It's an 82 btw so has the spring like the diagram
