ok i will start at the begining (may be long winded)
I bought a fiesta race car , and had to change the clutch as it got mullered, after fittment the clutch wouldnt engage and i couldnt get the gears with the engine running.
Upon inspection we found an adjuster under the clutch pedlel, by winding this right in i now have a working clutch ,but the bite is right at the bottom ? not ideal for racing imo.
The box is an ib5(fiesta xr2imk3) quaif internals and diff, the pivot which the clutch cable arm fits to and subsequently moves the release bearing seems to have been modified , where the pinch bolt passes through the pivot there is a second cut out allowing me to turn the clutch arm one knoch on the pivot(i am not sure if this is normaly the case on an Ib5 box?), now if i position the clutch arm so , it would push the release bearing further , so i presume less travel on the pedlel ??? i am aware that it is not good to push the release bearing to far as it can damage the clutch , but there is a hole in the box to watch the movement, and i am thinking when the clutch engages i gould wind out the adjuster under the pedel to stop it traveling to far ???
dose this sound feasable people or am i swinging in the wind with this theory of mine ??
