I'm trying to adjust the clutch but having a few difficulties.
When I put .35mm between the flywheel nut and clutch nut as per DJs post, I put the clutch bell on but it can't touch the clutch as it is hitting the clutch nut.
To get the clutch bell to touch the clutch (so i can then use shims to set the clutch gap)I have to screw in clutch nut so I have 2 mm flywheel nut to clutch nut gap, that then lets the clutch bell touch the clutch so i can use shims to set the clutch gap. But then i need enormous rpm to get the car to move and then it's so violent it's uncontrollable.
Any ideas why the clutch bell hits the clutch nut?
Thanks Trevor
What post do I talk about .35 for 1/8 scale? I do not remember that number for my clutch setting. Unless you are using the super hard Capricorn spring that is like the Sheperd spring and I am not using that and am still testing with that spring. With that spring you need less gap also.
