Clutch

If I get it to be off the diophram then I don't have enough T to disengage the clutch at all. That's why I need more throw. I think the PO made it work by allowing preasure on the preasure plate which is why the clutch burnt up so fast.

 

Novak says at least 1/16 of the preasure plate. So off the diophram!

 

That I can't answere but....its hydrolic so as long as there is no air,whatever is pushed will push on the other end. That's why I'm leaning torward a bigger MC.

 

Warlock....I am starting to think that the PO put the spacers in to get closer because he didn't have the full travel on the slave because it's a smaller MC. If I end up getting a larger one I can probably mount it directly to the bell housing and use a longer adjustment rod and alleviate the spacers.

 

Warlock...what size MC and slave do you have? My slave is a 7/8 bore. My mount is the same as yours and I can mount it just like yours. Just curious of the bore on your master. Mine is set up with two holes at 2.25" apart. Wilwood makes a MC that will mount right up and I can choose what bore I want!

 

Novak 3/4 slave and release arm.


1987-90 Wrangler clutch master. Something like 11/16 bore.


Worked the first time. I had to adjust and machine the bracket a bit. i used the old T/O bearing and it worked perfectly. I have a couple hundred miles on it and it still works perfect.

 

As said, I don't have a dog in this fight and I think I would go along with Tarry tells you. Master cyl and slave cyl aren't sized correctly to work properly together. Back to my corner..

 

I ordered a Wilwood master today. Will be in tomorrow. Hopefully I have a positive update sometime Monday. Wish me luck!!! Thanks guys,I mean that!

 

And.....we have a clutch. 1" bore Wilwood master worked perfectly! Buttoning everything up and should be back on the road by mid Friday!!!

 

She moves on her own power!!!! Just need to nut and bolt everything and make sure all is tight and good. Guess I'll be picking up Lil Man at school today in the "Monster Jeep". His words not mine. Haha

 

Just drove the jeep home. So far so good. One added bonus....she doesn't stall or want to die anymore when I brake or stop. I'm thinking now the clutch was never fully disengaging. Which was bogging down the engine. Thanks for everyone's help!!!!

 

Yep..........

 

Well.....my really expensive NOVAK TB decided to destroy itself and come apart. Guess the tranny needs to come apart again. Gosh Darnit. I'm at my wits end. At least it was fun to drive for half a day.
