Clutch Snap
Searched the posts, but didn't quite find the answer I needed. I've got an '83 911 SC, 85K mi.
The problem I'm having is that there seems to be no "give" in the clutch when I let out on the pedal to engage it. It "snaps" and engages very quickly in about 1-3 inches of travel (guessing).
Originally, when the clutch felt normal, I heard a "pop", and then the pedal dropped to the floor, loosing 2/3 of the travel. The clutch had the snap after that, but still seemed to eng/disengage OK.
I've rebuilt the cluster (per PP tech article & "101 Projects"), installed a new cable, and replaced the helper spring (ditto), which helped the feel and the pedal height. The old roll pin was not sheared, but I replaced it anyway.
Now, I've got a great feeling pedal that returns about even with the brake pedal, but I realized today, while driving to work, that the clutch has the same 'snap' as it did after the pedal fell to the floor - longer travel, but same feel.
I had to choke up quite a bit on the clevis to get the pedal to return to the height I wanted. It appears that the 1 mm clearance with the stop bolt on the arm is there. I'm realizing I may not have the cable adjusted correctly, but I'm suspecting another problem.
TIA.
