I have a 302 engine/Audi 01E transaxle set up with a Kennedy flywheel/adaptor plate and Helix made clutch plate.
I'm keen to set the clutch release bearing pre-load accurately and am struggling for info.
I think the static set up should be 'X' mm/inches from the just touching position. My question is what is the 'X' dimension? Presumably just enough to load up the release arm/slave cylinder push rod in position and allow for future wear but not too much so it takes up the throw to release the clutch.
The transaxle and engine are out of the car and split so it's easy to measure and set up with a push rod of the correct length once I know the 'X' dimension. It's a standard Audi slave cylinder.
Kennedy say 1/16 to 1/8" CLEARANCE which I guess is wrong because the bearing is designed for permanent engagement. Unless they mean 1/16 to 1/8 engagement.
Cheers
