How can you adjust the clutch on a non-turbo? I'm not talking about the freeplay adjustment bolt from inside the cabin. I can hear my throwout (release) bearing pressed against my pressure plate when the clutch pedal is fully extended. It's a brand new clutch (Clutchmasters Stage I), release bearing, and flywheel (Fidanza Aluminum). I can smell clutch after I drive my car hard, and I know how to drive very well, take my word for it, my clutch isn't fully disengaging.
Eek, please help before I burn up my new clutch :o
The clutch assembly (flywheel, clutch, and release bearing) has 1200 miles on it. I broke everything in perfectly. I made the mistake of not doing the labor on this one myself. Between work and school I just didn't have the time... I do know though. I needed the car back into working condition. The differential exploded and took out my whole transmission and the bellhousing. So the main reason I replaced my clutch assembly is I had a brand new tranny put in, and the rear main seal replaced (just as a precaution).
**off topic** So I don't know how well the shop treated my baby, except that the guy who test drove it ran it into a curb and tore the bottom lip of my bumper. They said I'd have to sue them if I were to have them replace the bumper completely because they cost so much and they fucking said there was a crack in it already or some bullshit, which I would spend more money then replacing the bumper myself. So they told me the body shop they new so they could fix it for them cheap, took it there, there one and only painter got sick or some bullshit after a shitty fiberglass repair, it took like 2 weeks to get it out from the fucking dog house body shop. I should have replaced the drive train by myself, it would have been so much faster. ** end off topic ***
Anyways, back on topic. It feels as if my clutch is never fully disengaging, my pedal is really low to the ground. I just need to extend the push rod going into the master cylinder. On www.vfaq.com it says how to do it for turbos, for they assume everyone has a turbo, those fucking bastards who don't respect all dsms, but non-turbos are differen't engines and everything is rearranged, is there an adjustment bolt for the master cylinder on a 420a?
