clutch release arm travel?
Hi,
Ive assembled clutch release bearing and arm, flywheel, clutch and then put zetec and type 9 on mountings. Now come to attach clutch cable and noticed
the release arm as only 1 inch of travel and is not springy it just floats back and forwards (Essentially no clutch), what have i done wrong? do i
have to drop the gearbox?
Cheers
Craig

Which clutch release bearing have you used you will need one for a Transit IIRC not the standard Zetec or Pinto ones as they do not have a long enough
nose.

Sounds like the release bearing is too short. A cheap fix to move it up is to pull the fulcrum pin out, drill & tap the hole, fit a bolt with a
nut & washers to move the fulcrum nearer the clutch, which moves the opposite end toward the rear of the box. A little experimentation with the
adjustment & there you go. The expensive way is to buy an extended bearing carrier from Westfield.

just wondering
I haven't got round to fitting my engine yet but will be useing 2l zetec and type 9.
I have fitted the 1.8 flywheel but used the cvh clutch and pressure plate ( it came with the donor cvh1.8 glx sierra)
All seems well and I'm using the original starter etc.
Anyone else done this does It work?
