Thread: lighter clutch

I see on eBay an Excedy "button clutch for ISUZU NPR NPS 4bd1 4bd1t". Item 181943553825



Know nothing about button clutches, but possibly different == lighter pedal?

You mean it can be removed and not needed? I figured it was there for a reason...

Ended up ordering a stock plate from don kyatts, Isuzu had none in stock. Am going through all the different gearbox/slave/thrust race/ clutch fork combo's now with Sheldon. Will get there in the end I'm sure

Well this has reared its ugly head again! I really need to sort the clutch release point.
Have tried a 300tdi and v8 master and that made no difference.
ANYBODY have any ideas. Need to get the release point a bit further from the floor

Do you have extra free play at the top end - ie is it just a case of moving the range up from the floor?
If it was, then lengthening the master cylinder pushrod should do it.

I'm guessing its not that simple though and you don't have the extra free play at the up end.

The master piston and pushrod are attached via some clip of some kind. The piston and rod are as far back as they can go.
When you connect the pushrod to the pedal it pulls the pedal about 20mm closer to the floor.

So its non adjustable, but am thinking of modding the pushrod somehow to get the pedal back onto its stopper.
I am getting very frustrated as i need to be out of this house in 3 weeks!!!!!

Ahhh - that old gotcha.
I've had new M/Cs that have a pushrod thats simply too short. Ended up using the old pushrod.
Mr Mig and a bit of rod will extend it for you....

Yes, took my mig gas bottle back this morning! Handy😣
