<VV> 6Puck Ceramic Clutch disk Adjustment

[hank kaczmarek]

I’d never use one of these things as I don’t race, and don’t find them necessary. 

However, my friend Eric has a car in his shop right now and he’s having a fit of a time getting the thing to work. 

All you racers and transaxle gurus please note the following. 

Car will not go into gear when running.  No 1st, no 2nd----3rd and 4th you can get the stick to move but it’s not easy---no reverse. 

Turn Car off. Put Car in gear, start car, will go into gear. 

No transmission fork problems. 

End adjustment on cable at transmission cross-shaft----book says 3/4-1”. Adjust all through the range, makes no difference.  at 1/2” it will grind a little when trying  to put in gear. 

Is it possible that the Ceramic clutch disk is not moving on the input shaft?  The T/O bearing is pushing against the fingers on the PP, but disk isn’t moving? 

A call to Cal Clark was answered by Cal with  “I’ve never installed one of these in my cars”. 


None of this makes sense.  Please discuss---

Eric believes the last time he put a ceramic disk in (15 years ago or so) he had to file the flanges in the disk to get the thing to work.
