Clutch Install
So I am converting my Auto into a Standard. I am using a Lightweight steel flywheel. When I got it (used) there were no bolts with it. I went down to the local hardware store and got some suspension grade bolts that fit the flywheel and are the same size as the stock ones. I am using a 86 clutch and pressure plate along with that transmission.
When I bolted the pressure plate onto the transmission, it took a good bit of force. I got the bolts in all the way, and now the fingers are almost flat across. There doens't seem like much room for it to move. I went ahead and bolted everything up. Now the clutch petal doesn't seem to have any pressure untill I am almost to the floor.
Did I do something wrong when I put in the clutch? Something definatly doesn't seem right.

best bet is to experiment a little with the length to find the right size.

you don't want to know what we used ;)
We used a piece of rebar thta we cut to different lengths and tested till we got the right length, then I told him to go and get a hardend bolt and cut to length to replace but he never did (I was worred about it mushrooming out after a while)
