New clutch not disengaging


Recommended Posts

  • Subscribed Member

So, we've been trying to sort the clutch change in @bigDnz's BE5, after many a pain in the ass situations, we finally have everything in.

But one major problem left, the clutch won't actually disengage. 
The release bearing has definitely clicked in, and the pedal has been set with full throw. It feels fine, it feels like it's pulling the plate, but not enough to actually release it.

Any suggestions on things to try?
Somebody said to me to replace the rod in the slave with something longer?

I assume you can see the slave and clutch fork moving?

 

Yup, we tested all that before putting the intercooler etc on, as we'd been having issues with the release bearing not actually clipping in. 
So we ensured it was fully seated and felt good. But we didn't think to actually test dis-engagement, as we wanted to do that with the motor running.

I had a car that had same problem.Didn’t replace the spigot bearing in the crankshaft after engine came back from a rebuild.You can also damage the bearing if the clutch plate isn’t aligned properly when installing the gearbox.It’s a cheap part which is generally overlooked.

We replaced that. The old one was more or less seized and grindy. Everything was aligned

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
