Papa Deuce

The clutch slipped the other day, but I dumped the hell out of the it trying to show off......I went to check the freeplay adjustment today, i cant get to the thing to sdjust it, but I did take the pedal off of the master cyl PR, and the rod is out as far as it will go, so then the freeplay cant be adjusted any farther foward. I have to go to Reno for a few days to tattoo, but when I get back (mon) I am going to take the time to drop the tranny and check it all out.

I'll check the height in the morning. I know the pedal is about an inch or so off towards the floor from the proper measurement but I think it will be worth it to take it apart to inspect it all. I'll use this thread to keep track.

A short pp would explain the long portion of the slave cyl pushrod hanging out. So, I need to check the pp and the tob collar.

How would I know which to use.......I assume they are different for 4 or 5 speed....and is the clutch plate the same?

Never had a Z before.....I bought my first last week...A 78 280z. I am hooked. I have been a VW guy for about 10 years or more. I have a wife and a great little year old girl. I am a long time gearhead. This is my first, so its a big learning curve coming from V dubs. I am excited to see how this project advances and hope to find a wealth of knowledge and info here.

I bought a 280z, my first one......Someone has converted it to a 5 speed. The clutch has no adjustment left out, and it engages at about 2 inches from the floor.......so the tranny shifts hard (hard to go in gear) and clanks a lot.......Could there be wron components, like the clutch fork or the TOB? The pushrod on the master is at the last thread, the slave cylinder pushrod is hanging way out just to touch the clutch fork......I am at a loss, this thing needs to be tightened up......Help?
