So as of late, I have been having some weird disengagement issues going on with my T5. Let me see if I can describe them well.
These issues usually happen after hard or long drives when the trans is hot.
-With the clutch depressed, on deceleration to a stop, with the car in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear; It feels as though there is enough of the clutch dragging to cause the back wheels to shutter like the clutch is engaged. This all is gone once the car comes to a stop.
-On deceleration, trying to downshift to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, I will sometimes get grinds. These are intermittent and usually when I don't rev match perfectly. Sometime it does not need rev matched at all and down shifts fine.
-Randomly on up shifts I will get a grind. There is no rhyme or reason to this. Almost like I didn't compress the clutch enough, though it is fully depressed.
Thoughts and possible other useful info-
Flywheel: STS Machine LH2.4 60-2 Flat Flywheel
Clutch Disk: Southbend Ceramic 225mm T5 Splined Disk
Pressure Plate: SAAB Viggen 228mm PP
DeeWorks/Avalanche Kit
Ford TOB
I have adjust the cable both ways and driven it, does the same whether it is loose or tight or adjusted perfectly. Right now I have it a little over tight and there is no way it's not disengaging as much as possible.
I set the endplay in the trans when I did the swap. Is it possible to be set wrong (Too Tight) and would it cause issues like this?
I had to space my pressure plate with 1 machine washer on each pressure plate bolt in order to have the pressure plate release arms at the right height.
Any other info needed, just ask. I am looking for some insight on this.
