84 GSL
The clutch was engaging 1/2" off the floor. Pedal rod adjusted to full length. Both cylinders are new Tokico parts. The slave was moving the fork the appropriate distance.
When I pulled the transmission I found a perfectly assembled fork and throw out bearing. Nothing was bent. Nothing was damaged.
When I checked the pressure plate I found the problem. The clutch bolts were not tightened fully. There was a millimeter or so gap between the flywheel and the pressure plate. Glad they didn't fly off while the PO was driving it.
It's from the Black GSL, Joe. Now I just need to reinstall the transmission. You have tomorrow off?

Really great photos in the thread, thanks.
By the way, in UK we have bolts and set screws. (A bolt referring always only to what you're calling a shoulder bolt).

Have RX-7, will restore

first off i believe a clutch alignment tool is a must for a quick and correct installation. it makes the job SO much eaiser! i've never replaced a clutch without one and will never attempt it.
next, my vote goes for archiving this thread. very useful information here.

How do the set screws work? Are they just on those two bolts?

The two "shoulder bolts" are opposite each other on the flywheel in the US spec vehicles. If you look closely at the flywheel pictures you can see these two holes in the flywheel are not threaded to the top. There are at least two holes in the pressure plate that the "shoulders" will not fit through. The pressure plate will go on the pins and the bolt holes will line up, but the shoulder bolts will not reach the threads in the flywheel. If this happens just remove the pressure plate and rotate it until the pins line up again. Its a good idea to thread the shoulder bolts before the others.

Hope that helps. Thanks to you for this great picture thread.
