Hi,
I am nearing the finish of my build and noticed that there is no resistance in the clutch pedal. I took the engine off today and found that my clutch cover plate does not have a release ring in the centre. The clutch release bearing is the later type without pad.
Should there be a release ring on the cover plate? I have read that some are not meant to have it fitted.
Not sure why my clutch isn't working?.
Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
Regards
Richard

Check the spring on the side of the gearbox behind the release lever is in one piece, altho even a with a broken one you should get resistance. Clutch type looks like the correct one from what you describe,early style has the release ring on the coverplate, but as Shaggy sez a pic would help.

You've got the correct type of pressure plate for your style of release bearing. Could it be an adjustment issue or an over-long cable? Is your Bowden tube correctly fitted with enough 'bow'?

As David said....all is correct. Check springs on pressure plate for weakened or broken. Check Bowden tube on side of gearbox and cable is correct length and adjusted accordingly

Also make sure the cable is actually connected and that it hasn't come unhooked inside the tunnel.
