there is a return spring on the pedal but it doesn't do an awefull lot, i broke mine off ages ago and it still works fine, from the looks of the pics above, the old release bearing is mullered

mullered????

mullered????

Broken, or possibly even FUBAR.

:iagree: what he said

Hi,

I just finished (AT LAST) the tedious job of mounting the gearbox.

- Is very smooth now.

- I did some job to the pedals: replaced the center sleeve, replaced the clutch pedal axe and refitted it's spring. At this point there are two things:

1- (minor) the clutch pedal now is too high

but this I could fix it very easy, just have to place a stop point where

need it to stop.

2- When I placed everything in it's correct place, I got to the conclusion

that the Cable is a tricky guy : When you feed the pedal the

cover of the cable is what really pushes the arm (and the bearing), so it

has to be a little tensed anyway. And, the way it is, there is nothing

that push it backward.

If I'm not wrong, the only thing that I can adjust with the cable is how

hard the bearing is stick to the friction plate, then I have to let it soft

enough so the bearing make no resistance to the plate.

And If it is all that way, I'm highly worried about it.

- Finally, I have a BIG ? on my head: reading other thread I see someone say that it is possible to change gear speed without using the clutch.

IS THAT REALLY POSSIBLE? :confused:

what are the chances of screwing the gearbox doing this? :confused:

Thanks for all your help in this Issue

Yes you can change gear without the clutch - it's all in matching engine revs to box speed
