Hi All

Have just finished putting in a supra box in my ek (hydraulic clutch, new pressure plate and clutch plate) and have a problem. It changes gear fine when the motor/car is cold, ie just after you start to drive, but after about 15 minutes, it grinds when changing. it doesnt seem to disengage enough, so am wondering if anyone had any ideas. I have flushed the clutch, put in new fluid and have bled it. is there perhaps still air in the clutch? Or could it be something else?

Cheers

Sorry, forgot to add one other bit...

Does your clutchfork pivot on a ball that screws into your bellhousing? If it does, you may be able to fix your problem (at least temporarily) by "undoing" the pivot to move it towards the front of the car and then

yeah, the pedal is a fair bit lighter and i am running the original slave and master cylinder. The fork only has a hole on the outer end and I have adjusted the pushrod, but will try and adjust the pivot next.

Thansk for the replies.
