YOU WON'T BELIEVE...

Post by Professor Quest »

YOU WON'T BELIEVE...how much you improved your car & clutch action!
10mm adjustment rod (vs. 8mm) and NO RUBBER SLUG
(that wears out) new, clevis pin, washer & cotter pin, too!
Extra threads= more adjustment lenght! :twisted:

Out with the old...IN with the NEW! :wink:
$40+s&h

Image

The SOS suggest you READ that entire chapter...only to figure out,
that rod was never LONG enough! :x
Image

Just roll your ankle a lil'....BANG THE NEXT GEAR! :D

Psst, do you need a harden steel bushing for you clutch pedal?

NO CHARGE, when you buy our adjustment rod! 8)

I recently just rebuilt my clevis because the rubber gromet let go. I rebuilt it with 3 x 12mm washers and some grease. Now it is awesome. No play = the bomb.

Most of them have too much wear to bother with and it's not LONG enough
to take-up the slack from elongated holes & worn-out clevis pins, too.

These SOS pics were taken about 2004. If you elect to NOT read,
all the "Clutch" chapter...that places you lacking knowledge almost
10 years too late. :lol:
Image

My first design that I still use in my 87 Conquest.
My second design was cheaper to manufactor.
Image
My 1970 CJ Mustang had a clutch problem: the 3/8" rod would fold-over
after I installed the Hayes Mark 12 clutch.
The cure: SHORTEN its ROD LENGHT! (use a yoke & shorter rod)

Image

If you like a HD clutch... :roll: you'd better UPGRADE your other parts, too.

Btw, just so you all know...that "dampner" inside the slave, is a SLOWER
RETURN RATE. It's a one-way restrictor. Coverd in the SOS, years ago.
Image

The "idea" was... NOT CHIRPPING your tires as you left a stand-still.

It SLOWS-DOWN the clutch engagement. :roll: DUMP the RESTRICTOR! 8)

Yep! We dicked-around with other "ideas" that just sucked! :x
Image

10mm is gonna be MUCH STRONGER than 8mm! :roll: And
that "rubber-bell" was just a weak-link designed as a CUSH. :roll:

Image

It's very nice, to open a box and find out what is inside!
THEE BOMB ADJUSTMENT ROD! :twisted:
U.S. postal PRIORITY you'd have a HD clutch,replacement adjustment rod
in about 72 hours. :roll:
Image

We see this problem, all the time!

Had polarisman14 read the "Clutch Replacement", in the SOS, FIRST... :roll:
he would have fixed/replace the worn-out parts.

Polarisman14 said this:
"Update, I got the clutch pedal assembly out of the car (oh, what fun!) and confirmed that the clevis pin hole was badly egg-shaped and the rubber grommet inside the "bell" was deformed and cracked as well. It was allowing, let's just say, a "generous" amount of play before the rod actually started to move into the clutch cylinder. I'd venture a guess that with those two things fixed it will double the amount of travel the rod makes into the cylinder, and should fix the issue I was having. Short of replacing the cylinder and doing a full repair and bleed of the system, there isn't much more I can do to fix this so hopefully it does! Thanks again! "

I can...sell you this OEM Mitsu's part for $15+s&h. :roll:
It don't come with the clevis pin, however. It's a seperate part.

BOLT-IN PARTS! (comes with the RIGHT clevis pin)

Image

Do you HELP people...for not reffering-back to PQ?
(505) 299-9012. :roll: Or email me. 8)

Some guys "repair" work is a JOKE, in my book! :lol:

Image

Did you want the adjustment rod to "DEFORM" the bell housing?

1. max-out the lenght of adjustment rod
2. do not remove all that corrosion from the slave

Btw, what use is all that grease for? :roll: So it don't allow
the washers to make noise? :lol:

Yes, Woody...I reviewed your pics. :roll: What a shame it is,
*YOU* failed to read the clutch chapter in the SOS.

You WILL...need to replace that greased-up, stack-o-washers part.
It will NEVER do what it needs to do for very long. :lol:
...stack-o-washers... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Psst, hey Woody...see the "view count" in the SOS, clutch chapter. :roll:
MANY MEMBERS are well-aware of clutch problems!
Yes, you can trick a newbie. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mad Max Woody...and his stack-o-washers! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Woody, when you break a bone, using a band-aid ain't much help. :lol:
