I've been having trouble with my clutch not releasing fully. I can repeatedly grind into reverse.
Now I have the transmission off and I noticed that I can pull the throwout bearing appart by 1/16" and push it back together by grabbing the plate that rests on the release lever and grabbing the collar that touches the pressure plate fingers.
Could this be my cause? I thought that the slave cylinder was "self adjusting" to take up slack like this.
I just want to be sure that I find one possible cause before I button it back up. The problem wasn't so bad with the car cold but got really annoying with the car hot so I suspect the problem is something subtle.
Thank you for any suggestions!
