Caught the Bug
So after having my Centerforce clutch in and working great for close to 10k miles it started acting up. Hard to shift into any gear at a stop, but would slide right into gear with no resistance with engine stoped. I decided that the clutch had to be dragging. Tried bleeding the clutch, also changed and bleed master cylinder. Slave was changed with the clutch last year. Still dragging. I jacked up the rear end and in first gear with foot on the clutch tires where spinning away roughly 1/2 speed. So now I had the task of pulling the trans again.
Here's where I found something interesting. My throwout bearing was toast but hadn't given me the standard throwout bearing noise. The trans input shaft retainer/sleeve was visibly worn and had ridges worn into it that were causing the throwout bearing to stick.
So here's my question. When I put everything back together how can I verify proper gap for the throwout bearing? I have to assume that the only way it failed this early is that it was too tight the first time. I have read that rule of thumb is 1/16 of an inch. With no access to the inside of the bell housing I don't have a clue how I can verify this.
Is there a spec for the distance of the release fork to the slave cylinder mounting face? Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.
