I'm almost ready to get 733/2k on the road so I can start working out the bugs, but this one issue is keeping from doing so. Not being able to get this car on the road is tearing at me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I thought I fixed the problem when I replaced the worn out clutch pedal assembly arm that was rounded out along with plastic bushings. Nope, the problem was still there, so next we pulled the transmission and I found the retainer clip the holds the clutch fork to the pivot ball was bent, thus not even keeping the clutch fork attached to the pivot ball. We replaced the clutch fork, installed the stock flywheel and reinstall the transmission.
While the still in the middle of installing the front subframe support brace, north & south balls I thought it would be a good time to see if I could indeed shift into gear or not with the engine running. With just the passenger side axle cup and the crossover drive shaft installed I was able to shift into all 5 gears and reverse, and I confirm the axles were spinning while in gear.
I thought I was good, until I installed everything else and tried to go for a test drive, and that's went yet again I couldn't shift into gear.
Today I just swapped shifter cables with knowing mostly that wasn't the problem. I was right, the new cables didn't change a thing.
I checked the position on my clutch fork, it's sitting in the middle and moves toward the passenger when the clutch pedal is fully pushed in.
I'm able to go through all the gears while the car is not running.
I watch the crank pulley with the clutch pedal was pushed in, and I didn't notice any in-and-out movement.
There is no fuild leaking into the car from the master cylinder. There is no leakage from the slave.
The pivot ball is new.
I don't have a extended slave cylinder rod.
The shifted cables seem to be adjusted right, as I don't have to adjust them to slide them on the shifter arm.
Besides throwing new cylinders on the car, I don't know what else to do or check. Looking for any advice, pointer to get the car on the road.
