I recently installed a new clutch and flywheel (JWT), with new pilot bushing and throwout bearing. i also put in a CD009 transmission. It has the shorter pivot ball (chromoly one from IPP) and the new fork.

When I am driving at regular pace (street driving), I don't have much of an issue, other than the clutch is engaging pretty low.

I put a few hundred miles on the new setup and went to the track and things started going wrong. When shifting at higher RPM, it just doesn't want to shift gear until RPMs have dropped around 5k or below. At the end of sessions the clutch pedal was getting stuck at the floor. And if I was trying to put the car into 1st gear from neutral with the clutch all the way down, the car still started to move forward.

Clutch pedal feels solid, except at the end of sessions when it was getting stuck. I bled the clutch line once myself, and had a shop bleed it again for good measure. And anyway, air should never have been introduced into the system during the install. It doesn't look like anything is leaking in the hydraulic system. Slave cylinder appears to be pushing the piston correctly.

Any ideas what could be my problem? Would I be able to adjust the clutch to engage higher up (or only lower)? I would like to exhaust all possibilities before pulling the transmission apart, as long as they make some sense.

 

You have to adjust the engagement point behind your clutch pedal. They have a DIY yourself here, search for it.

 

thanks hellman. I have seen a ton of threads about adjusting the clutch pedal. However, I think they are all about just moving the beginning position of the clutch pedal lower so that there is less travel in the clutch pedal.

In my case, I would actually want to adjust the engagement point to be farther up, and somehow increase the amount that the clutch is disengaged when I push the clutch pedal down.

Am I missing a thread somewhere that shows how to do that?
