About six months back I did the conversion to my bugeye with a rebuilt Datsun 5 speed and Rivergate conversion, and have been having clutch issues since. It seems that after 3 bleeds, 2 of them with the CNC slave elevated straight above the master, I can't get the clutch to fully disengage. I have a trace of play between the slave push rod and the clutch fork, and with this as recommended. Its is most notice between 1st and 2nd shift, as well as down shifts. I spoke to someone with Rivergate about this issue, and with using the 7/8" bore master that is in the car, and it was suggested that this may be the issue. But after reading at brakecylinder.com about properties with the pistons, the 7/8" bore will push 36% longer travel than the suggested 3/4" bore that was used on the disc brake cars. As my car is disc brake, I sent the 7/8" in for sleeving both sides to 3/4", but now I am trying to figure out if I should have the clutch side done in 7/8" for greater push rod travel.
Can someone help me out with this, I'd like to get the clutch situation squared away once and for all.
