Put a new clutch in the project 2a today, put it all bag together and I can't engage the gears. Took the gear lever out and removed the little plate on the top of the bell housing, and I could see the clutch was definately operating and the diaphram was compressing. Tried adjusting the master cylinder, no difference, adjusted the operating rod on the slave cylinder, no difference. In desperation I made a longer operating rod, about and inch longer, but still can't engage the gears.
In reflection, this fault is the reason I repaced the clutch in the first place, when removing the old diaphram it was obviously warped, the thrust pad was at an angle.
My thoughts are, either I put the drive plate in backwards, or the clutch operating system in the bell housing is worn. It just puzzles me that I can see the clutch working through the inspection hole.
Just thought of a third reason, could there be a burr on the shaft, stopping the plate moving?
Whats your thoughts, any ideas appreciated.
