oh that rod, it threads in(IIRC), they use a smaller box this way — for shipping?
Yes, that’s the rod thank you, and it’s threaded, you say? Hrm… Ok, I’ll see what I can do. I’ll probably just use a straight piece of round rod and keep playing until I get the right length.
And no, the rod doesn’t go to the clutch pedal, it goes to the fork on the tranny… I’ll post pictures up later today.
hes talking about the pin that pushes from the slave to the clutch actuator fork.
i guess technically anything would work… however if the rod seemed to short your actual problem is going to be the fork pivot inside the tranny…
chances are its either severly worn or broken which can happen.
the chances of the rod being worn down are slim… its a hardened steel rod…
sounds like your going to have to replace the slave and pin… and failing that replace the mushroom pivot inside your bellhousing.
orrrr failing that you somehow bent the clutch fork.
it will 100% be one of those things tho.

Thanks for the info man… I’ve got a picture now, so you can see what I’m talking about. I don’t think it’s bent, I think it just wasn’t fixed properly.
That’s what I was talking about. I think Greg hit it on the head as to what it was… The fork doesn’t seem bent at all though, so we’ll see what it looks like when I replace the little rod.
Also, in this picture, you can see some wires hanging down, the (I believe) middle one is live. It sparked when I hit it with a wrench bleeding the clutch. Any thoughts on what that’s supposed to be attached to?
lol buddy those are your starter wires.
very important.

I thought that’s what it was, but I figured I’d check. I was planning on looking this afternoon when I start working lol.
It was getting dark last night so I couldn’t check it for sure.
Problem solved with the clutch, it’s as I thought, the rod was too short, made a new one, put it in, clutch works like a champ… Still won’t start though.
thats cuz ur starters not hooked up and i think one of those is ur alt plug
those all look like alternator harness… and the alt. hot is directly connected to the battery at all times, the black is gorund, the two-prong is the voltage regulator plug, one inputs sense voltage the other outputs to the volt guage
Sounds good, I’m gonna go back under tomorrow. Would that prevent the car from starting?
