Yes, that's pressure plate teeth sitting in there.

Hmm.

I have a pressure plate ffor Mark but I was not aware it may have been this bad.

Holy cow, I've never seen pressure plate fingers break before!

BC

it must not have been what I thought broke it. It must have just been the throw out bearing again.

BC

Because the tob is seized.

Lizard928

Wow.....

bronto

Yikes. Now we know....

BC

I will replace the TOB and the pressure plate. The disks are fine.

While I was fighting this thing under the car to get it out, I think I may have decided to sell my entire new/nearly new 80-86 clutch assembly. I was going to use it on one of my cars but I am so flipping done with these dual disk setups. So many little inkling issues here and there, even with relatively new parts.

Got an 80 that has one similar waiting on me to work on it if I can find time. It aint pretty to look at.

BC

I'm going to have to replace the center shaft as well. It got worn down in the center.

Wow, never seen that before.

mark kibort

nice!!

BC

Mark thought it may be from an overreach from the master or slave cylinders. I will have to check alignment when it all goes back in today or tomorrow.

Leeroy is on the road (again).

I have thuroughly checked the clutch operation and have decided that I continue to despise the overly complex DD clutch that Porsche designed for the 928. It works - when you can get the stars to align.

I bought a relatively good used pressure plate from Mark during the holiday sale. I did not want to use my near-new stash as I knew I would be selling my last set for some car-cash.

I also bought good used washers and clip rings for the throw out bearing.

I used my second best throw out bearing and have claimed the completely locked up throw out bearing that was in Leeroy to send and get redone for the low mile 86.5 I am working on.

And a center shaft.

Damn this crap's heavy. REALLY heavy when you are lifting it over your head. I am not sure it would be any easier with a lift?

I put the spacer under the pedal back so the arm will not go further than it needs to. I also replaced the slave rod with one with unbroken rubber.

Finally, after I drove it around I found that the rear shift coupler had completely come apart and was allowing very sloppy shifts. I had noticed it getting bad before but forgot in the down time.

So I took my last really good rear coupler and installed it.

Now Leeroy's shifting and clutch action is as good as I think its going to be for a while, especially since the car has like 240k miles or something like that.

I will keep him for a while while I work on the other 928s and rebuild the transmission in my truck for DD use. I will fix the driver's door handle, and at that point he will be ready for another user.

You are a saint.

I found that the driver door opens easily if you lift up while you you open, not much force required. But I assumed it was an alignment issue.

BC

Not so much.

I will have to try that. I think it had gotten worse since you had it. I haven'tused tthe outside handle for months.
