Hi Mark<br><br>
<br>
<pre>&gt;Is the diagonal support brace attached to the front bolt hole of
the
&gt;slave as well as firmly bolted to the side of the tranny? If not,
you
&gt;will lose some of the travel of the slave.
Yes. Will recheck tomorrow. But it is tight. I bled the slave, and it
didnt move.




&gt;If you remove the 2 bolts that hold the slave down to its bracket
the
&gt;slave should rise up off the bracket quite a bit. Does it? How much?
Good point, really good point. I can then test the slave and how much
travel it can deliver on its piston.




&gt;If the forks where the release bearing sits are worn too much then
the
&gt;slave might run out of travel before the release bearing moves far
&gt;enough. This is a major wear area and I replace badly worn release
&gt;fork/shafts all the time. This can be a painful procedure but it has
to
&gt;be done when the bearing seats get worn enough.


Good point - I didnt check the releaseshaft and its forks - didnt think
of it as a potential trouble area.


I think I need to get some spareparts, pull the tranny again, do the
pilotbearing, check the releaseshaft for wear, maybe change it, but at
least change the bushings for the release shaft.


Seems to be potential 8-10 hours of solid work.........
