I have a question on a 915 (84-86) gearbox clutch arm.
I had several of these cars and I have never been able to get the total 25mm clutch cable travel at the clutch arm. I have always had to zero out the free play otherwise it would grind going into gear.
Fast forward to today, on a 915 gearbox with a 964 engine in a 71 chassis, using a new clutch cable for the 915. I got a total of 18mm clutch travel, that is all. It would grind going into gear even if I take out the zero free play.
So I went negative free play, meaning adjusting the screw to push a little bit on the clutch arm (like someone is riding the clutch). This configuration lets me shift into all gears without any grinding. But, I think I am getting throw out bearing noise.
Any thoughts on what I should do next?
I am pretty sure the clutch big arm, little one, and the helper spring are installed correctly.
