anybody know anything about these gearboxes? im after some advice with the release bearing.ive installed a pedal box in my 309 to suit the hydraulics on the ml5t box, however even with a pedal which has good feel (quite firm) the clutch doesnt disengage. im just wondering if ive installed the release bearing correctly. anyway to check? cheers ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

The release bearing just pushes straight into the clutch and then stays there with an expanding metal clip. Don't try to take it back out again after its fitted as I think that is why mine died after only 4.5k miles. The bearing is a pretty simple system.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

i cant measure the original as i dont have one. I dont know how id measure the original anyway? i was going to try and put a puller on backwards to push the arm in just so i could check its working? dont want to damage it though. im pretty sure there is still air in the system, i just cant get it out. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

They don;t compare to the std size which is quite large, I guess around .8, You can just about get the .7's to work but you need the right leverage and extend the rod slightly too________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

0.8 would that not give less pressure than 0.625? Or is it to do with travel? Ive managed to get it to almost work. Its like its slipping the clutch________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

ghey. didnt think about it that way. do you think i will have any luck if i manage to get all the air out? ive got it to disengage partly, but its still slightly gripping, a bit like when you slip the clutch when pulling off. you can tell the difference because when you let off the clutch all together the car kangaroos when turning it over, when the clutch is pressed it only moves a few mm forwards once and then it just turns over as if the clutch isnt engaged. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

alter the pivot? on the pedal? i cant do this as the pedals built into the box with a pole. I can move the position of the master cylinder forwards or backwards (closer to the pedal or further away) if that will help? ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

aa u mean the pivot where the master cylinder joins to the pedal? if i move it up (floor mounted pedal box) then should the pedal move a smaller distance for the same amount of cylinder travel? ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

miles i owe u a drinkmei i owe you 2 drinks now. i took the pedal out, and drilled another hole a bit further up the pedal. Refitted the pedal and master cylinder to the hole and it works  ive not had change to drive or test it with my foot yet (no seats lol) but pushing it by hand its relatively easy and disengages the clutch fully. many thanks guys, i can now get on with mapping the beast. 306gti6 club prevailes. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |
