3K K40 Throw Out Bearing

[ranko_87]

Hi,

 

I have a ke20 with a 3k and k40 and my clutch cable is on full adjustment and really should be adjusted further. The clutch fork is forward of centre in the released positsion and comes very far forward when the clutch is depressed. It looks as though the throw out bearing/bearing retained should be longer?

 

Is there more then one length across the models? I know my 3k is an orgional ke20 item, and I have the thicker of the 2 engine backing plates. The gearbox is a ke20 k40 with the extension housing changed to the ke30.

 

Any advis would be great.

 

P.s. I have done a seaech and found a thread that stated the bearing number is the same from ke15 to ke70, but that doesn't mean the retainer that the bearing is pressed onto are all the same.

if you have not touched it; it most likely needs anew clutch plate pressure plate and throw out bearing

It is an orgional motor (as in orgionally in a ke20) but it is far from untouched. jun flywheel, H/D clutch, all new. This is the 3rd clutch in the car (race car, haven't worn them out, just put a new clutch in with each motor.

 

The throw out bearing is the one that came with the gearbox.

The actual throw out bearings are all the same size. There are different length carriers. You want a long one.

You don't happen to know where I could get one? Or what box in what car has the long carrier, because I have 4 boxes and they all have the short carrier.

I may have one, and I don't klnow which is which, I just know I had the same problem once before.
