SupraShaun Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi all, a few months ago i installed a RPS Turbo Clutch Max Series on my TT manual. I then had to adjust the thing on the top of the clutch pedal to allow me to get it in gear. I read the other day whilst searching on here that poor adjustment of this can cause things to wear down faster. So my question is, is there a procedure that you all follow to perfectly (or nearly) adjust this? Ive searched but cant find anything. Any help would be much appreciated Cheers Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The reason you need to adjust the pedal to master cylinder pushrod to take up the (designed to be there) free play is some clutches have poor quality control, with either re machined used parts used, changing the geo of the diaphragm finger height, or just badly made, with a none stock finger height, or the need to pull the fingers further from the engine to effect a full and clean release. By removing the free play at the master cylinder you pull the release bearing into permanent contact and motion, causing abnormal wear and heat. It's a clutch issue, the standard motion ratio, with some decent amount of clearance at the master cylinder pushrod should fully release the clutch.

ajazyasin Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 so i take it that its better to adjust the mastercylinder pushrod out to the pedal than visaversa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi Chris thanks for your response. So from what you've said it better to adjust the pedal too much (to allow you to get it in gear) rather than too little so the clutch doesn't dis-engage properly?

Chris Wilson Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You shouldn't have to adjust it at all, but if you do have to adjust it to get the clutch to release fully be absolutely SURE there is still some free play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
