Yeh still drivable, although it felt very average... the whole shed smelt like burnt clutch by the time I parked it in there haha.

Clutch is in, and F**k ell its a heavy biatch.
All my clutches have been stupidly heavy for what they were, and I have no idea why.... the heavy duty (xr style) clutch was heavier than my mates exedy 5 puck, which is the same as what I just put in my car... I think the old clutch died because the sandwich plate thingo was put in incorrectly (by a mechanic), which allowed some oil to drip through... Anyway any ideas as to how to lighten the clutch up? |

Is the rubber damper on the clutch fork worn? clutch pedal return spring has too much tension on it?

The clutch cable was replaced when the old clutch was done, which is almost exactly one year ago (last powercruise).
How do you adjust the return spring XR Lane? The only things that have never changed is the s**t around the peddle box, so it has to be something there... |

The spring is not adjustable but I was thinking along the lines of it being too tight and might need a replacement that has less tension. I would just have a look under there and look for warn parts, maybe the plastic bushes on the clutch pedal pin have worn through and is now metal on metal? maybe the pivot arm for the cable at the top of the clutch pedal has worn bushes and is jammed and causing the cable to rub against the hollow thread at the end of the cable casing? I cant really be sure just brain storming.

My old man said he was going to one and an EL XR was supposed to be there, and if things went to plan we were going to purchase it (for him/mum). Well they withdrew that, but had the 17s there with 2 spare tires, starting bid at $50 lol. If the car went to auction, it probably would have fetched $1k lol. |
