Hello all,
I just finished replacing the clutch and resurfacing the flywheel on my 142s.
As per Eric @hiperfauto's suggestion I had the flywheel surfaced and then did a reverse step of 0.020" outside the clamping area.
With the flywheel surfaced and the new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing in I went to move the car for the first time. As soon as I motioned toward reverse I had a horrible grinding. I shifted to first then reverse.. still grinding. Tried second, third, and fourth before reverse and it always grinds going into reverse.
It never grinds going into any other gear.
I then moved on to the clutch cable, which has a 1/4" collar on the ball end and is adjusted to the end of it's adjustment area. No matter what I did, it still grinds getting into reverse.
I'm kind of at a loss for what it could be. Any suggestions?
