V6 Cable Clutch Topic!?

[calvinhorse 870]

I'm sure I was reading a topic about this but can't find it anywhere? Was it part of someone's build topic?

 

I know, I know, hydraulics easy and better blah blah... just interested to read the topic again

What's your thoughts on the cable set up?

cant be too bad as a lot of vans used a cable, though I'd imagine that the pedal is longer to get the leverage.

 

on the 306 v6 i helped build we did try our own homebrew cable setup which wasn't too bad, though the bearing failed and the project sold on, thinking back it may have overstroked but i never saw the parts afterwards.

 

goliath used to have a cable too but saw the light after paul did his hydraulic setup.

The release bearing failed?

 

Will this "kit" be the same for the d8 and d9 gearboxes?

[calvinhorse 870]

To be fair it's probably as easy and definitely cheaper to do the hydraulic clutch..

 

Has anyone come up with a fool proof way of removing the gearbox yet?

If I can do it you def can, only took me couple days. I dislike the cable setups with a passion!

 

Top tip, get two or three master cylinders as I went through a couple through trial and error!

[welshpug 1,677]

why do you need 3 masters?

 

 

not sure what you mean calvin about the gearbox removal?

 

I think the clip on the release bearing failed, probably because we removed it from the pressure plate and its not designed to do so once fitted on first installation, its a 3 piece kit and it clips into place the first time you push the pedal down.

I have a hydraulic clutch on mine, Used the 206 master cylinder (has bolt holes) and the new D9 slave for the bleed nipple.

I attached the master cylinder at the bottom of the pedal box and threaded the rod to allow adjustment.

 

Clutch is perfect, shame I keep snapping driveshafts.

I've got a cable setup that I'm probably going to sell as I'm going to run the 206 setup. It uses a wilwood cylinder off an pivot/arm setup that bolts to the top of the gearbox. I can get a pic if you like.

 

Edit: Here we go. Was part of the package I bought.

Very similar to the goodwood that, angle of the push rod going into the willwood meant the seals failed very quickly.
