The Journey 89 turbo'ed-----89T

[89T]

So, I replaced the clutch cable and it made little to no difference. I used an old trick to gain more travel. I cut and trimmed the clutch pedal and slid it forward
about a half inch. Ant this is what I gained. The picture is with my phone resting on the Break pedal. Stock height and then modified height.


Here's the adapter. I bolted it together just in case I needed more travel.

That's unfortunate about the new cable not being the quick fix.. dang.

So with the pedal modification do you now have the proper amount of movement? I suppose it's sort of hard to tell when you can't quite test it on a running engine. Nice handy work though!

[89T]

There is more movement for sure. Enough is to be determined.

[Tdurr]

dang, that sucks. I hoped the cable was the problem...

[89T]

I'll figure it out. I can get more with a different pedal adapter.

I have the clutchnet red clutch and pressure plate with the aluminum flywheel
I also have the stock clutch cable

Clutchnet is your problem right there. My green is the same way the cable is all the way out just hanging on the last two threads.

Only thing to fix it right beside getting a real clutch that fits is maybe cut the flywheel down enough.

I looked and the preludes cables are longer according to Rockauto but I have no idea if they hook up the same.

I like your motor plate idea!

This is one part of the reasons ive been looking for someone to make A2B plate so the we can go hydo and there are better options for clutches, flywheels, lsd, axles and dog boxes. Its been done twice before so its possible.

So we are saying that the pressure plate is the problem Or the flywheel? I have a stock set so I'll measure them up. Do you have the stock flywheel?

Thanks on the motor plate comment. The hard part is keeping it simple so it can easily be duplicated.

I've gonna ahead and tired to contact the two members that have them to see if i can buy the schematic from one of them but never heard back from them. Here's a photo of what it looks like. I would assume that it's not much different then a H2B plate. The other cool thing i read one the build it that the fitment in the engine bay is like it was ment to be there and since the A20 trans doesn't have a trans mount you do have to run one if you dont want to.

I already talked to JohnnyO. He no longer has it. I am trying to get ahold of jason.

Now on a side note.
The 2 flywheels are the same.
The pressure plate mounted with no clutch shows 3/32 of an inch of difference on the throw out bearing contacts. Now with the same clutch installed and mounted. There is 6/32 of difference that is just over an 1/8 of a inch.

Sweet keep me post on the plate. I'm willing to toss money your way to get it done. I also have a a20 block and B series trans ready to take to someone to have the r&d done.

[89T]

I am comparing flywheels right now.

[89T]

I can't find anything on jason
After research, it looks like Victor already had/has the ball rolling.

my clutchnet red pressure plate I had no more adjustment on my cable. its just the way things are. I had a transmission shop guy tell me that its because i used a aluminum flywheel and because it was lighten it was shorter than a stock flywheel and thats why my 3rd gear would grind. I laughed and told him he didnt rebuild my transmission right. trans failed after 20k and a rebuild. I just installed the trans that came in my coupe that had all integra gears but by then i went back to a ACT clutch with street disk. It had OEM pedal feel and i used the same cable and had plenty of adjustment. When i took out my pressure plate it looked like my Throw out bearing never disengaged and the fingers were worn down. I emailed clutchnet about it and they said they could replace the fingers for 125. I saved it but now it just on my junk pile

[89T]

The fly wheel was the first thing that I checked. It seems to be a match to the stock counterpart. I agree that the pressure plate is the problem.

[Tdurr]

glad i didnt go with clutchnet...

[89T]

I don't think the clutch is the problem. It's the pressure plate.

If you have all the parts already make one out of plywood and them take it to some one to machine it out. That will get you started.

[obd0driver]

Yeah I'm horrible with that kind of stuff but ill see what i can do

[obd0driver]

Ask a buddy he's gonna trace them out for me them out for me. I'll have to pull my trans for this but it's not on the street.

[89T]

I have both

[obd0driver]

Lol well.

[89T]

Time.
