Okay so i have been working on my clutch. I am trying to keep this as simple as possible and as short as possible. I had to used a pressure plate on my stock flywheel and stock clutch. The pressure plate is actually little taller then the stock one. Now whats happening is that if you bolt the transmission to the block, i cannot move the fork by my hand, the thrust bearing is jammed tight on the pressure plate, as its a bit taller and there is no space between the PP and the bearing. My car is front wheel drive if it matters.
Okay now what i want to know is, if i move the transmission, 2-3mm away from the PP, what effect would it have on the function of transmission. I had loosen the bolts to let the gearbox just move away from the block like 2 mm and i could then move the fork with my fingers freely. So exactly what will happen if i tighten it by, for example, using washers between the bolts to move it a bit further away from the PP. Will the input shaft of the gearbox still connect, would i be having any problems? I guess 2-3mm should not be a problem but its better to ask.
Its night here and i would be having a guy over here in morning, around 10 hrs or so to help me fit the gearbox. I would highly appreciate it if some one could tell me what kind of trouble would i be going into if i move the gearbox away from PP. I tried to explain it as clearly as i can, please do not ask as to why i am using the different PP in first place, i just had to use it did not have any choice.
Thanks!
