aardvark Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hello Mr Magoo! You pull the rubber cap off and pull the rod out. See extract from the wsm. Happy new year everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Do Moss have any suggestions on the slave cylinder free play to be used with their threaded rods? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Happy new year to everyone! As I do not own a TR6 I would like to know what the gap at the end of the TR6 push rod is? Ciao / Cheers, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Best wishes for all of you! in my car, there is no play; the internal spring in the bottom of the slave cylinder pushes the piston outwards untill the clutch bearing contacts the diaphragm.

peejay4A Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) HNY from me too. We’ve had a recent lengthy discussion about adjustable/fixed length pushrods. First question is why do you want to replace the non adjustable rod? If it’s to allow manual adjustment of the clearance then you’ll also need to fit an external pull off spring. Otherwise the first time you operate the clutch the clearance will be taken up, as it’s designed to, and you’re back in the same position as if you had a fixed length pushrod.

Z320 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I made some adjustable push rods for friends for their TR250/5/6, also for my TR4A and some Jags. They are very easy to make with an "M8 Gabelkopf" (long or short) and a "Schlosserschraube M8 x 200 mm", up to some more than 200 mm lenght. As I have been told there could be reasons for this because of the "wrong" position of the slave cy. and master cy. with flangs on different positions. Also as I have been told the pushrod on TR6 is without gap and the piston stops where the clutch diagramm / clutch shaft / leaver / push rod moves the piston. That is than called "self adjusting". Nobody told me what the gap is for, so I made them without the gap Ciao / Cheers, Marco Edited January 1, 2019 by Z320 reason: still my bad english Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogcastle Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi Pete + 1 I agree why do you want to adjust the push rod. If it's because your clutch isn't engaging fully I think you should look else where for the problem, could be any of the following. Air in the system or not bled properly. Faulty Master cylinder. Worn MC push rod, clevis pin or brake pedal hole worn. Wrong MC push rod to short. Clutch operating mechanism. If you still cannot solve the problem you would be better getting a adjustable push rod at the MC end as a last resort. Best of luck Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 It's not easy to get the length right. Too long and you'll burn out clutches, too short and it won't disengage. In cars with adjustable clutch rods a clearance is specified . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnw Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Can you buy or has any one made a clutch MC push rod ? John W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi John, Rimmers - item 37 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID600016 Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnw Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks Roger, did not realise it was adjustable. Any idea why it says LH drive, could it be a different length than a RH drive unit. Thanks John W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi John, item 37 is RHD and non-adjustable. Don;t know why the would be handed. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colin3511 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 LHD version is shorter due to its different location on the bulkhead. You must fit the correct length rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnw Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi Roger, if you follow your link you will see that there are in fact two item 37 !!!. One is as you say, the other is LH and adjustable by the look of it. Many thanks for your help. Just found one on the Revington site but no pictures. ( I like pictures) John W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 If wanted I send you the parts and you make your own lenght, adjustable +/- 5 mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnw Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks for the offer Z320, I've ordered some bits off Ebay to make one. Will keep you posted. Also thanks to collin3511 for your input. John W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
