I have heard that the spring in the TO/slave is to keep it in constant contact with the PP. I can't feel anything until I press the pedal in like 1" or so and I feel a slight vibration. This is how I have adjusted all other clutches and how you know your TO is adjusted properly but this confuses me if the TO is supposed to already be in contact and spinning with the PP.

This is on a '99 C5 with stock clutch components and ~75k on the odometer. Could it be that the fingers are bent or the TO spring is not working properly? It shifts fine other than the pedal on the floor under WOT.

TIA

 

I did find an "on car clutch pressure plate adjustment" procedure in my Helms that goes like this:

- Have an assistant press the clutch pedal until tension is released from the clutch pressure plate stepped adjusting ring, then continue to hold the pedal.
- Hold 2 screwdrivers or other suitable tools, and place them against 2 of the 3 stepped adjusting ring tension spring stops (1), just ahead of the adjusting ring tension springs.
- Using the screwdrivers, rotate the stepped adjusting ring counterclockwise (compressing the tension springs) until the adjusting ring steps are fully adjusted out, then continue to hold in position.
- Have your assistant release the clutch pedal.
- Release the adjusting ring tension spring stops.

WTF is this? Never seen any adjustments on any other PP. Not that I'll do this as I have a RAM 980 sitting in the garage waiting to go in and it certainly won't have this adjustment so adjusting the CMC is critical but like I said, I've always adjusted the CMC so it is just barely out of contact of the TO and if it's already contacting it, how do you determine where to adjust it? Just by where the engagement point is?
