The bearing in the pressure plate is not held in, it’s prone to tip and jam, so with actuating rod removed the clutch connects with the gearbox, hydraulics assembly will push the rod out and disconnect the gearbox 

 

I’ve fixed mine in place with Loctite bearing fit

 

You can see if this is happening through the oil filler as the hydraulics are fitted 

 

Tourmax kit is quality 

I had bought the same but took it all apart today and it’s well seated, the pushrod is in the push bucket correctly too

 

apart from the clutch being open the clutch feels good at the lever

 

i’ve ordered a rebuild kit for the clutch master, I saw a similar issue so apart from this and the line all has been changed.

 

I’m really thinking it’s hydraulic side, might buy a speedy bleed nipple also, mights help.

 

if you have any ideas in the mean time, I’m a taker

Well, this may be a long shot, but I do recall a guy who incorrectly assembled the clutch Slave Cylinder.

He actually fitted the slave piston back the front!

It caused the same effect, he also thought that the push rod was too long.

Guess its worth checking.

Thanks for the suggestion, but if you ever took one apart you would see it’s almost impossible to mount it with the piston backwards.

 

I’m going to disassemble the master, clean and rebuild and see what it’s like

Agree, was just a thought, but this guy certainly did it.

Good luck hope its all sorted ASAP.

Well still no luck :(, i'm going to lose it!

 

on the plus side the clutch is harder, feels like the clutch bites a hair more.

 

if anyone has a magical idea!

 

thx

Right. You'll want your eyes on the steels. They won't wear, but they may look terrible.

yeah my suspicions were right, the sleets they sent me are 2.5mm, the weird thing is the old steels were 2.61mm, i havent measured the friction disks yet but they are no where near the 2,9-3,08 mark.

 

i think i will have to bite the bullet and buy a new set of oem disks and steels to start fresh and at the good values

 

Thanks guys
