Alright, I am past fed up now.
I took the transmission back out and checked to make sure I had the throwout
bearing and such correctly mounted as well as the clutch disc. I had a
friend of mine weld up my bracket with a 3/4" pipe coupling just like Chris
Scarpulla's and put everything back together. I adjusted my clutch pedal by
moving the cruise switch and set the car on the ground hoping to finally
drive it after weeks.
Same problem exists. I can press in the clutch and it feels fine. I can go
through the gears with the engine off. If the enging is running I cannot
get the car into gear at all. With the spacer my cable is at the edge of
the threads and it looks like it should work.
Frankly I think this pressure plate is a piece of crap and am thinking of
just getting a damn Key Value clutch kit or a B15 Pressure Plate to go with
the B15 disc I already bought. I have no idea what is the matter with the
set up, maybe I got the wrong PP, maybe it's defective but at any rate it
doesn't work. I don't even know if I can return the pressure plate since it
has been installed.
Grr.
