Ha ha before.

I was going to say I wouldn't be going there ever again.

How's it all going now with the new front end??

Its awesome. So much grip. With the Konis it so grounded.

So I dropped the gearbox today, turns out the clutch fork wasnt attached to the throwout bearing, it had somehow unclipped. Which meant the clutch fork wasnt sitting on the pivot point properly, I honestly don't know how I was able to drive it around.

When the fork is installed properly and the box bolted back up should the fork be really hard to move by hand?

Yeah it shoud be snug.

I mean I can't move it by hand at all to operate the clutch. Or is that just a really firm HD clutch.

I really don't think you should be able to move it by hand, the pressure plate takes a lot of force to depress.

Sweet I wanted to ask before I put it all back together 100%. Hopefully that fixes my gear change issue, otherwise it's out with the pedal box.

 

Finally arrived. Happy Reed is happy.

Shed session!

 

 

So I managed to bolt most of it back together. Bled the clutch and I now have twice as much pedal movement. So it looks like the clutch fork retaining clip was the culprit (hopefully).

 

Couldnt take it for a spin as the exhaust manifold gasket is shot and I didnt have any goo on me.

 

Trimmed the front guards for less rubbing too.

Goo is just the best.

 

Looking good man. I should get some photos of my suspension..

That shed is ʞ©$ɟing dope!

 

Take a video of when you drive it tomorrow!

Wont be driven tomorrow, don't think I can afford a gasket (if I can even get one tomorrow). Plus tomorrow is 'family' day.

I was out your way today if I had of seen this before I could have brought some toyota black sealant, that stuff works wonders, haha.
