Well, finally it's the weekend so I could finish changing my clutch after just receiving it yesterday... It's an exedy organic clutch. I put the stupid tranny back on and start putting things back together when I think what the hell, let's make sure the release bearing/clutch pedal work.. To my delight there's almost no pressure on the pedal and it sinks to the floor... Now.. I was smart enough to test fit the clutch disc to the input shaft and it fits perfectly, so I'm thinking the disc and pp have to be correct since it bolted up perfectly to the flywheel.

Now... there are no leaks anywhere in the clutch system, and I changed the clutch because the throwout bearing crapped out. The slave cyl. works fine.. What I wanted to ask was how much travel there usually is for the shift fork. There is alot of play in this one, that's why I'm wondering if I could have possibly received the wrong t/o bearing. I just assumed it was the correct one (big mistake since people always **** up w/ auto parts) and tossed the tranny on.

Forgot to mention, I have a 92 prelude si, with stock motor/tranny. Anyone have any good guesses what it is? I'd pull the tranny again now but I need to wait for my brother to help me drop it, so it'll probably be tomorrow. Once I pull the tranny I'll be able to compare the new t/o bearing w/ the old one, but would an accord t/o bearing be different and still fit the shift fork? Any guesses would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone have an idea what it could be??

 

dude, when i did mine i thought the exact same thing. oh god i fucked something up.

what it actually was is that i needed to bleed the clutch A LOT! i had a power bleeder and it took a good 15 minutes of usage and an entire large bottle of fluid. bleeding it by hand just didnt work. even though i thought it was good to go it still wasnt.

if you can get your hands on one use a power bleeder. other then that no clue man.

 

Hmm.. I guess I'll give it a shot... I HOPE that's the problem but I guess we'll see. The slave cyl. seems to be moving the clutch fork just fine, it's just that there's alot of play. Thanks.

Yep, you gotta bleed it a good bit.

Get the little bottle bleeder thing; it took me forever w/ mine until I got that bottle on there.

 

Yup, well thanks guys.. you were right it just needed to be bled.. That's weird though, why would it need to be bled so badly..? That's quite weird....?

I always bleed the clutch line/brakes w/ 2 people, that's the easiest way for me. Now it appears I have a new wonderful problem with the abs system... Oh well, I guess I'll start a new thread for that. Thanks again!
