You know larry... I taller ball would help the total amount of possible throw of the fork... but still the bearing goes past the end of the throwout retainer. Check me... But that does not seem right. You agree? It would seem that the retainer should go inside the presure plate fingers when mated up. This would provide 100% ( not 80%)bearing support when pushing on the fingers.
My senario right now is... for the throwout bearing to push on the fingers it has to go past the end of the retainer some. How much compression on the fingers is needed to dis-engauge?? Dont know. So I dont know how much futher I need to go or if my flywheeel has been turned to much?
I'm diggin deeper than I would like to here...but I am stuck and have take that tranny out 3 times now.
Well when done maybe I can provide advise to other more! :-)
I will measure the ball height and retainer length later tonite.... spending so time with my kids now.
My boy sure wants to go for a ride ;-( Me too!
Thanks, Clyde
