Banished-KE Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, a friend and i just bought our own KE-55 and while we were putting the engine back in, noticed some random wires which don't seem to go anywhere? we're yet to put in a raditor, could the wires be for possibly a fan on the back of the radiator? And also does anyone have any tips on adjusting a hydraulic clutch pedal? Pictures and details below Things are outlined in red. Thanks in advance. Don't know what any of these wires are? Clutch working almost in reverse as when pushed in has to be forcefully pulled back otherwise it just stays there, the complete opposite of what it should be doing. Interior view of the clutch. (I think its set up right?) Edited February 11, 2012 by Banished-KE Quote
altezzaclub Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Clutch... its a cable clutch, so you pull the outer cable away from the firewall and slip the circlip into a groove just in front of the firewall fitting. That should give you an inch or so of freeplay before you feel the resistance of the pressure plate as you push the pedal down. It sounds like you have all freeplay and no clutch movement. Wiring... you'll need a wiring diagram with colour codes. Quote

Yea the clutch is a cable clutch but the actual pedal seems to be hydraulic, looks like the bloke we bought the car off drilled through the firewall and added on a master cylinder for the clutch pedal. Sorry i wasn't clear enough when explaining that. We also had a look at the gregory's manual to adjusting the clutch cable and if we have the e clip 6 grooves in then the cable wont reach the pedal at all, in fact it falls about an inch and a half short, the only way to get the cable to reach is to feed the cable through so all the grooves sit in the firewall and are in line with the damper, but then the clutch barely moves when we push the pedal in and wont return back to a good resting point, it will just stay depressed and we'll have to pull it out. Any idea on how to sort this out? EDIT* after a bit of browsing the internet i've found out that the clutch master cylinder is a TA22 and that the guy we got it from was planning on putting in a 4age so installed the hydraulic clutch pedal, it's not just me being a retard :P Edited February 12, 2012 by Banished-KE Quote
