thet2 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 4 hours ago, Thumbs said: 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted June 18, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted June 18, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thet2 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thet2 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi, i'm getting somewhere, do you guys happen to have a measurement of the steels and clutch disk thickness (OEM ones if possible) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The service manual only mentions the thickness of the friction plates: 2.92-3.08 (0.115- 0. 121) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bmart Posted July 5, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted July 5, 2022 Right. You'll want your eyes on the steels. They won't wear, but they may look terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thet2 Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thet2 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hi Guys, Issue resolved, i put an OEM pack clutch from honda and all works perfectly, no slipping and good biting point. Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbear Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 There's a lesson to be learned here. The Aftermarket doesn't have all the answers no matter how much you wish it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
