Nevets Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It’s been apart just long enough, I seem to have forgotten which way the clutch throw-out rod goes back in… Does the rounded ball end go toward the clutch diaphragm spring, or toward the slave hydraulic cylinder.??? The manuals/instructions and such I have describe putting it back together, but assume you were paying attention during disassembly. As usual, thanks for any help. Link to comment
Stan Walker Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The end that tapers down to a smaller diameter goes in first. The clutch diaphragm spring sits on the little shoulder. Stan Link to comment

Steve, I believe the short end goes in first.. Hopefully someone that has done one recently can confirm that.. Be sure to grease the balls with good quality moly based grease.. Twisty Link to comment
Nevets Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks Stan - It's what I figured, but why take a chance. Kind of makes me wonder what else I'll forget when I reassemble everything. Link to comment
jfixit Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Don't forget to give us a final post after completion of your winter project. I'm looking forward to hearing the good, bad, and ugly. Link to comment

Ken H. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Man, you took out the tranny, swing arm and final drive all as one piece!?! You must be one strong guy! How was it getting it lined back up and in all as one piece? Link to comment
Ken H. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 BTW, to the OP, despite GSman's photo that shows the push rod still in place, they are easy to bend and I would always advocate removing it from the center of the shaft, out the rear, before pulling the tranny. And not reinserting it until the tranny is back in place. Link to comment

Digital cameras are a God-send for this. Yep, I've taken a lot of photographs, just not that one. Probably some basic principle/law in quantum physics that keeps you from photographing the item you will be interested in for a future occasion. You know, something like the inverse of Schrödinger's cat... Link to comment

How was it getting it lined back up and in all as one piece? FWIW, that's what Sean did when he had an input shaft seal go, and I think that's how we did the spline lube on Jerry's bike at SoCal Tech Daze a few years ago (but I could be mistaken there.)

NonComp Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you're happy with the state of the paralever bearings, then this sure save time heating and removing those pivot pins. Link to comment

How was it getting it lined back up and in all as one piece? I'm 5'9" and 255lbs, so being "stocky" and too lazy to take the whole thing apart sure helped... I used a floor jack to get it "roughly" in place. I also pushed the pushrod back flush to the splines when I installed it, then just seated it when complete. Link to comment
Nevets Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 OK, today's ($#%@&%%$!**) roadblock in reassembly: I have the gearbox back on and am inserting the clutch throw-out rod. After struggling with the felt washer for a while, I finally got the rod to go in with the felt in place. Or at least I thought everything went in. When I try to put the slave cylinder back on, it appears the rod protrudes out too far. If I push the cylinder on the rod, I can compress the spring and get it about an inch away from the mating surface. Too far away to even start the three bolts. What am I missing? The rod protrudes from the flat surface on the rear of the gearbox by about 15/16 inch. Do I need to release some hydraulic fluid pressure or something to get the cylinder to go on?!?!? Help.

Nevets Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 OK, I feel stupid.... I guess I misunderstood what you were indicating on the rod orientation. I realized I had the rod in backwards!!! Link to comment
Stan Walker Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It's been a long time for my "old" memory, I may "pointed" you wrong. It's good to know it only fits one way. Stan Link to comment
