    Hey Nath, good to see you back at it mate. I once did a similar job on a Mini (a real Mini that is), ditching the Auto and fitting a manual engine/box unit. Quite a few things can "blindside" you on these swaps. Great job.

    Well what do ya know. I was digging around and I found myself a 1988 XR4TI. I'd call it a Garage find. Its been hiding in the corner of a garage coverd up for 17 years and has only 12,000 kilometers on the clock. Took it out for a drive and its almost perfect and it shows. Its a Red one too. Thank Goodness.

    i'm running a mustang cable as well on my TR3650 and they make a firewall adjuster that mounts between the cable and firewall so you can get additional length of the sleeve and more refined adjustment of the cable. get the kind that has detents in the adjuster (i think BBK has the detents).

    I might have a T5 shifter that would work better for you... let me know if you’ve worked this out yet or not. It would move the shifter back a bit since I think the shaft is shaped differently.

    Did you pull up on the pedal so the quadrant can pull out all the slack?

    • @NathansGarage
      @NathansGarage  3 года назад

      It may be over adjusted. When II do that, as I have with all my other clutch pedals, it seems to introduce slack. If I put my hand behind and push the quadrant runs to take up the slack it holds until I catch the pedal with my toe and it "resets"...with slack. It's a work around that's...working right now :)
