Hi Guys,

Without dropping and separating the tranny, is there a quick way to test if my fork is broken?

For reference, the clutch on the '83 SC needed adjustment once every two months. Last week, the omega spring broke so we replaced it along with the cable.

Reinstalled, we made the typical 1.2 gap followed by 1.0 gap after tightening the cable. Then we checked the play and we are at the .98" play. With the engine 'not' running, the shifter will go into gear.

Once we started the engine, the shifting will grind. I opened the cubby hole, made the adjustment there. After many tries, the car will still grind into gear when the engine is at idle.

Based on my search, I have a 'clutch release adjustment' issue and not a 'clutch adjustment issue.' The most likely candidate is then the release fork.

So, any tests I could perform? The only test I can think of is to unhook the omega spring and see if I could move the clutch release lever by hand; is this a valid test? Any other tests people have done?

Or, do I have other issues?

Thanks.
