So, I got everything I needed to do, done... its a 99 EM1
Input Shaft bearing, new clutch - http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?147614-Input-Shaft-Bearing-Werewolf-in-my-gearbox
Get in my car, friction point is like 1cm from the wall, kinda normal for a HD clutch I was thinking...
Awesome grab (exedy HD)... no more noises, I am happy...
But I started to notice, that it was getting very hard to get it into all gears...
firstly
1- I need to have the clutch ALL THE WAY to the wall... mm's out and it will crunch gears
2- I'd have to actually Push/Pull into gear...
Its never crunched in its life...
Clutch was replaced, so was gearbox fluids... the synchros were fine...
1- Transmission fluid is fine... its new
2- Clutch fluid is fine...
So could it be something needs to be lubed up? bushing/linkage? Since the gearbox was removed and possibly sprayed down when doing the input shaft bearing?
Can I adjust the friction point, so it engages gear a little higher? I seen alot of people say "adjust the clutch pedal" but wouldnt that just bring the pedal down closer but not bring the friction point higher? its puzzling.
I can still drive the car fine... I just need to pay more attention to it instead of just comfortably driving it, relaxed n shiet.
