February 4, 201115 yr I've got an 85 BRAT with an 85 5sp d/r in it with a brand spanking new XT6 clutch attached to an EA82 flywheel resurfaced to XT6 specs. It won't let go... I've been readjusting the cable almost to the point I'm afraid of getting the throwout bearing stuck on the end of the shaft it slides on. I've had to fix that problem once before So, I've got everything set properly, what am I missing? I'm currently investigating the cable, but I've practically ran out of threading on the top side of the cable, and it still won"t let go. Anybody run into this issue? Twitch
February 4, 201115 yr Author I can't get the clutch disc on backwards. It won't fit. Any other thoughts? Twitch
February 4, 201115 yr hi , there are a couple of different forks that were used in ea-81 and ea-82, which one do you have installed? the fsm says some were 2:1 and some were 3:1 ratio of leverage. if you are sure the disc is turned the right way ,the fork might be the issue. also do you know what was the spec they used on the ea82 flywheel??

February 4, 201115 yr Author what pressure plate? It's all XT6 parts. And the fork is the 85 5sp fork that came with the tranny. Twitch Edit: The flywheel was machined to XT6 specs Edited February 4, 201115 yr by Twitch de la Brat
February 5, 201115 yr Author Ok, well I've got it moving. I've just got to thread it almost to the end of the threads on the cable. Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I just was too chicken to thread it far enough. Twitch
February 5, 201115 yr I had to lengthen the threaded rod/adjustment portion of the clutch cable to get mine adjusted properly. I didn't know what else to do as it was my first EA81 5 SPD swap, but it's been working great for thousands of miles now.
February 6, 201115 yr Author Well, it looks like I need the longer throw fork. Gotta pull it apart. Again. And get the fork from the J/Y, unless somebody wants to donate one :-\ Woo... Twitch PS: Aside from an XT6, what fork should be the longer throw? A Turbo? Edited February 6, 201115 yr by Twitch de la Brat Forgot Details
