V8 Clutch Cable issues??

[bartsau]

Hi all,

I have finally got my wagon to the point of driving it and I have some concerns about my clutch cable. It seems that the cable is too long??

Are 6cly and V8 pedal boxes the same? Are there different length V8 clutch Cables?? I can't figure out why this is like this...

It does drive and work although the pickup point feels like it is almost flat on the firewall.

Here is a pick of the slack in the cable.



This is how the clutch fork sits when the thrust bearing is just touching the fingers. Is this normal? Or should it be further towards the left (rear of the car)??


And a pick of how I assembled the thrust bearing.


Although it is currently working, I feel there certainly should not be this slack in the setup. I hope it is obvious and not in the clutch assembly as I really don't want to have to pull out the gearbox again.
