Hello to all, im posting this message up for a friend of mine that hasn't been able to get himself logged on recently.
The problem started a while back, the clutch was changed for an RPS one i think, the clutch biting point was almost on the floor so he adjusted the pedal height so that it was at a reasonable ride height, this solved that problem, however after a while it started to become more and more difficult to select gears.
So after this he checked the clutch fluid and noticed that it was very dirty?? In order to try and remove the problem further he adjusted the pedal again so that it became easier to select gear, however it has started again and he is almost all the way on the adjuster?? What could this problem be?? I dont think he has any leaks etc as i thought it sounded similar to my prob a while back where it was increasingly harder to select gear, however i found out later (to late might i add) that the fork was split and started to bend and eventually snapped, thats why it was so hard to select as it wasn't working the clutch it was bending the fork
He says that the clutch is not slipping and if he stops the car he can manage to get it into gear.
Im now wondering if the clutch has been either fitted incorrectly i.e. permanently engaged as its been adjusted too much or its as a result of him fiddling with the pedal adjuster??
Has anyone else had these or similar symptoms?? If so could you please post what these where and what the final problem was?? Also a cost of rectifying the problem would be good as it will give my friend an idea of what to expect.
Many thanks in advance.
