Hi Guys, Having trouble engaging the gears after completing the conversion from auto to LT77 sd1 manual on my V8 P6
Have just fitted a new braided flexi pipe between the clutch master & slave cylinder, bled using a self bleeding kit.
Clutch plate & pressure plate is an AP Performance version, release bearing, release arm are new, when I first drove the car it was fine but know after say about 15 miles I have to pump the pedal & push right down the floor to engage any gears. I've checked for leaks but all dry on both new cylinders, master is a 3500s and the slave is a SD1 for the g/box.
It could be a tiny a bit of air in the pipe still hence having to pump the pedal, maybe I need to do the traditional way of having some work the pedal while I open & close the bleed valve.
Could it be the AP clutch kit is a tad too strong perhaps? cant see it personalyl, other thought is that the new clutch plate has worn in slightly and perhaps the push rod from the slave cylinder to the release arm is a bit to short? clutching at straws a bit any ideas will be great, thanks Damian
