Re: Clutch driving me crazy
开云体育I've never heard of someone extending the slave rod to get it to release.? Most are lack of travel in the master (longer rod) that needs to be cut so it can travel further and fully engage the slave. check on rennlist about modifying the master.? How about the release bearing, you did press in a new bearing.?
Is that "spinning" ok? Just tossing out some ideas as like Colin noted, usually it's the
discs when there's chatter, but the early dual discs engage higher
and slower than the single discs, so pedal/master/slave travel
sometimes affects how the system grabs.? My 79 has all original discs etc, I added a new slave and I can
feel the grabiness (is that a word :D) due to it just being
resurrected after sitting for better part of 20 years.? The more I
drive, the better it seems to operate.

Not a spec clutch kit. Factory parts with discs from 928intl. New slave and master.? Extended the slave rod to get positive release (matched old slave) On Mon, May 5, 2025, 12:43?PM amidlman via <midlman=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Clutch driving me crazy
开云体育If you're getting chatter that will be more caused by the friction material on the discs. Can you post a picture of the friction plates? Or let us know what material was used?

I've reached the end of my patience rope with this 928.? I have replaced or resurfaced all of the components of the clutch. I still get a chatter on engagement.? The intermediate plate is pinned and straighted. New clutch discs. Resurfaced flywheel and brand new pressure plate.?

Re: Clutch driving me crazy
开云体育Are these the Spec clutch components? Have you done all the hydraulics?? Clutch master and slave?? How does the pedal feel when engaging and dis-engaging? Is there a break-in procedure from Spec (if these are Spec)?
The double disc clutches can be a pain, but getting the
intermediate plate pinned is a good start.? Another thought, on some of the early double discs, there is a "front" and "back" disc.? Does the spec have front and back, or are they both the same?

Re: Griot's Garage next Sat (May 3)
Weather was good, and was all set to head up, and the 928 curse hit.?
Was meeting folks to convoy up, and at the meeting spot, getting ready to head out, cranked and the GT was dead dead dead.? Dash was super dim.
I've been getting the dash resets on start up (even after being on the maintainer) this year, so was worried, but every time up until now, it started and ran fine.
Likely the battery as it's from 2013.? I guess even after being on a maintainer all the time, they do fail.?
Jump start got me going, but headed home just to be safe.
Now off to grab a new battery.

Hooked On Driving At The Ridge Friday and Saturday
开云体育
Sorry I didn't get this out sooner.? HOD is at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton again this Friday & Saturday May 2nd?& 3rd.??
Don't know if you can still sign up for Friday, but I believe you can still sign up for Saturday.? At last count, they groups were barely ? full, so lots of open track if you are ready to roll!!!.??
My #41 Stock Car is running well and should be on track both days.??
Come out and take a look even if your car is not ready for the track.? I hope it will get you thinking about preparing to come to the next event.? No charge for watching - you have to sign a waiver to enter the track.? I can get anyone a ride with a Coach for
a few laps for a little taste of the track if you want.??
Hope to see some of the 928 group up there.? Come out and have a great time.??
Regards, Keith Martin HOD Coach 1980 5-speed retired from track....... |

Re: Louie Ott's 928
开云体育That would be Dave (Michigan). Here's the thread on his acquiring Louie's GT.?
No email on his profile, but post up in that thread and I'm sure he'll get a hold of you.

Re: 1981 5-speed $57k
开云体育Pretty decent result.? One thing to keep in mind is that this one
was fully restored, with engine rebuild by Greg Brown, so that has
some part in the value.? I'm still surprised at the last 90GT on BAT that went for around
$50K.?? It was a low mile, but had some really dodgy work done and
seemed to have a lot of questions about what still needed to be
done.? On a side note, pulled the dash out of my 79 and was surprised to
see everything under there in pretty good shape, including still
holding vacuum on all those little pods etc.? Now to figure out if
I need to ship it to Rob Budd, or grab some vinyl and attempt
myself.....hmmmm......? (Maybe when I'm done with the resto, I'll
get it on Broad Arrow too :D LOL)...nah, gonna be buried in my
928s :D??
