Twitch de la Brat Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've got an 85 BRAT with an 85 5sp d/r in it with a brand spanking new XT6 clutch attached to an EA82 flywheel resurfaced to XT6 specs. It won't let go... I've been readjusting the cable almost to the point I'm afraid of getting the throwout bearing stuck on the end of the shaft it slides on. I've had to fix that problem once before So, I've got everything set properly, what am I missing? I'm currently investigating the cable, but I've practically ran out of threading on the top side of the cable, and it still won"t let go. Anybody run into this issue?

Twitch de la Brat Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I can't get the clutch disc on backwards. It won't fit. Any other thoughts? Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruparts Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) hi , there are a couple of different forks that were used in ea-81 and ea-82, which one do you have installed? the fsm says some were 2:1 and some were 3:1 ratio of leverage. if you are sure the disc is turned the right way ,the fork might be the issue. also do you know what was the spec they used on the ea82 flywheel??

Twitch de la Brat Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) what pressure plate? It's all XT6 parts. And the fork is the 85 5sp fork that came with the tranny. Twitch Edit: The flywheel was machined to XT6 specs Edited February 4, 2011 by Twitch de la Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ok, well I've got it moving. I've just got to thread it almost to the end of the threads on the cable. Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I just was too chicken to thread it far enough. Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I had to lengthen the threaded rod/adjustment portion of the clutch cable to get mine adjusted properly. I didn't know what else to do as it was my first EA81 5 SPD swap, but it's been working great for thousands of miles now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Well, it looks like I need the longer throw fork. Gotta pull it apart. Again. And get the fork from the J/Y, unless somebody wants to donate one :-\ Woo... Twitch PS: Aside from an XT6, what fork should be the longer throw? A Turbo?
