Hey guys, just a few questions hopefully you can help me with. I will try to keep it short to save people time, and... I am typing this out on my phone.
I have been having an issue with getting into gear when the car is stopped. Ihave to depress the clutch for a couple seconds and then the car goes in gear no problem. The problem can get worse as the car gets really hot, and I have to keep clutch depressed longer to engage any gear. I figured it was a bad pilot, my mechanic replaced it and it got better but still issue somewhat present. It then got worse somewhat so after a lot more research I read that I might have the clutch not releasing fully.. (clutch is a centerforce dual friction with I think an aftermarket heaver flywheel... it feels 20ish lbs)... or the 10 spline input shaft is not smooth and not free spinning from the crank/pilot bearing.
Anyway, to fix this problem, I am replacing everything clutch related... and what perfect time to go 26 spline. Here is my parts list:
Mcleod rxt, lethal sleeve, frpp pilot and tob, liberty 26 spline, fidanza aluminum flywheel, mcleod pivot ball, fiore firewall adjuster, upr tripple hook quadrant.. I really hope this all fixes my problem. What do you guys think? I don't think its the trans, it locks me out of all the gears and it down shifts into 1st and all other gears no problem when car is moving.
Right now I have the trans out of the car, and the new pilot installed. I am wondering what type of grease I should use, and how much should be applied to thbe pilot bearing? The pilot bearing I got had almost no grease in it.
Also, the new 26 spline is already in as well as the lethal sleeve. I shimmed like per instructions and did all that, I know we are supposed to measure play of the inputb shaft in and out. But I noticed there is some play side to side.. is this ok? The pilot bearings job is to keep the input shaft straight right? Theire isn't a lot of play but I can feel it by hand.. I am hoping to get confirmation that its ok, as well as what you guys think of the issue and the grease question so I can hopefully start putting everything else back in! Thanks a lot in advance guys!
