Hi all,
A friend is having trouble with the clutch on his 86' Carrera. He replaced the cable and said that it worked great for a day, then started being trouble again. Today we tried replacing the helper spring, but cannot get the mechanisms adjusted right.
Based on the pic I stole and edited below, his car's #1 lever is in a position where the gap between it and the piece that the cable attaches to (at #2) is way too much; maybe a half inch, instead of the feeler-gauge sized gap there should be. If we slip #1 out and rotate it one tooth over, it is too close (won't slide back on as it hits the other piece).
There was originally no play in piece #1, but toward the end of our time in the garage it budged and now it will rotate slightly.
Hoping he's not in for a new clutch..?
