Hi, my first topic here. I ran into an issue with my 1995 SPI. I used too low torque on the bolts that connect the flywheel/crankshaft boss to the clutch pressure plate. The bolts loosened themselves in the flywheel assembly and needed replacement.
After installing the new clutch, pressure plate, crankshaft boss and replacing the plunger in the flywheel cover and installing the new verto slave cylinder I am running into an issue. I have bled the clutch hydraulic system as it is described in the haynes.
By depressing the clutch pedal, the clutch does not disengage. The pedal travel looks okay (how far should it go to the bulkhead? I presume the end position is before it touches the bulkhead), and the slave cylinder is moving the arm on the flywheel cover. The throwout stop nut has been adjusted to 6.5mm clearance and when the clutch pedal is fully depressed, the throw out stop is not touching the flywheel cover. I took the flywheel cover off again, and noticed the springs on the pressure plate in installed condition look flat compared to the old pressure plate (which is out of the car in ‘free-state’). Is that normal?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
David
