Am i being dumb or is the clutch????
Sorry guys,
Bit of a dumb day for me today, I have just put all of the clutch linkage back together only it seems it is working backwards. My knowledge of how the clutch mechanism actually works is not that great but I believe it is back together exactly how it was before only now attached to my 5speed ford box. When you press the lever the cluth release part (dont know the proper name, in the gearbox) moves away from the clutch, shouldnt it move towards the clutch? or have i not secured something correctly? Any advice much appreciated, i can get some photos if needed.
Cheers
Martyn

Right, well for a start, the ball-nut on the adjuster rod going to the throw arm is on the wrong way around. It should be pulling and not pushing.
The rest seem OK I think, except that the two plates need securing to the relay shaft in the same way that they are secured to the end of the pedal.

Well spotted Cam, about the ball nut.
I don't see how this can physically posibally occure if it's all set up as in the photos. Hmmm, unless the pedal is getting depressed so much that the relay shaft is turning past it's normal maximal angle and then starts pushing. But this would be highly unlikely.martylemoo wrote:the rod moves towards the front of the car when pressing the lever

Agreed, Mr A. I can't see it either. Looking at this photo:

It can't possibly move the other way when the clutch pedal is pressed down.

No probs mate, it happens to all of us. Sometimes you just need to step back and look at things, or go and have a cuppa and think about it in the warm!martylemoo wrote:cheers guys,
it was as i thought it is me being dumb, just needed confirmation. Far too long spent in the cold looking at the underside of the car made me forget my forwards and backwards. Its good to know it is almost back together how it should be though. Just hope it all works now.
Glad it's all coming together though!
