Starting Utah Chapter.

[Ondonti]

I did some measuring.

Two of my transmission have the arm able to extend a maximum of 4 and 15/16" Away from the transmission.

one of them is 7 and 1/8" or so. So huge difference.


Then I measured the duster. I said before that the clutch arm with the cable inserted through the clip with ZERO bushings measures 4 5/8"

I removed the clip, and the arm drops down so I can feel when it is hitting the pressure plate.

It hits the pressure plate at 4 7/8" distance. That means when I have the cable installed, It is moving the clutch arm up 1/4" and disengaging the pressure plate slightly.

I havent figured out yet if I need to reclock the arm or if I just need to modify the pedal to get more slack.
-----------------
Edit

I got the wastegate arm out of the way on the duster and the arm is at 6 and 1/16" distance. I hope that means I can reclock something and get the clutch arm to be @ 5" maximum travel. This should solve the pressure plate problem.

Edit, transmission clutch arm is not clockable inside or out. There is a key on both sides. I am going to try swapping parts between transmissions.

[Ondonti]

I dont really think this will work because 1 tooth seems like way to much. I am going to try messing with the spare transmission parts to see if it will work or if some of our stock transmission parts are not all the same.

-------Also, they are not clockable on the inside either. There is a Key on the inside too.

[Ondonti]

Sorry this is hard to read.

[Ondonti]

Put new arm on, I think the clutch is fixed. It feels like a normal clutch now. I even put the bushing for the clip back on
Have not driven it yet but good enough.

[Turbo224]

Awesome! I assume you didn't have to pull the trans to fix it. 12.99 here you come!

[Ondonti]

Didnt have to do anything but swap clutch arms. I even put the cable clip bushing back in. The auto tensioner actually works now..instead of being jam'd at the top and still not having enough slack.

Are we meeting at Murray Park this Saturday?

[bansheenut420]

I figure lets plan on the park if the weather is going to be nice. If not, lets meet at the pie. That work for everyone?

[utah_pure]

That works, I have a friend who does not know any td guys out here except me, And he has a pretty nice T2 Shelby Charger that I may convince to come out once his trans is fixed/swapped to a 523...

Murray park sounds good but lets say later in the day so more show up? like 3? and actually maybe BBQ?

[bansheenut420]

I think just for sake of keeping it the same, lets say on still. But, we always hang out for a long time, so even if there are some late showers, we will still be there.

And, we bbq everytime devin. No one else ever brings stuff. lol

Hope to see a good turnout. Weather is supposed to be nice saturday.

[woodrow Z]

I may bring my kids this time.

[Ondonti]

My rescheduled class almost got moved from Saturday but since we couldn't find a better day, i will still be in class from 1-5ish.

[Polygon]

Weather is supposed to be good Saturday. I'll be there at 1 p.m. as usual. I'll bring my camera and try and get some stuff to use in the calendar. I also won't be leaving early this time. I still won't be able to bring the GTC though. Perhaps next time since I finally got a job.

[Turbo224]

I should be there, although I am not entriely sure if I will be driving the Omni or the R/T.
