Default Clutch Help

Clutch is slipping. Using Martin's kit I have the nyloc nut all the way down and the spacer, clutch is still slipping. Anyone have this issue? Should I remove the spacer or nut?

Thanks

James

Well, spoke to Martin. Going to cut 1/4" off push rod and "re"-round end.

Is it a problem with the clutch unit you are using? Just curious on the cause, if it's common.

Thanks,

Jason

Don't think it is common. It is a brand new clutch, throw out, etc. Think it is just too much preload on the pressure plate and I have no more threads on the clutch push rod to back off the nut. Could have been an error made when they fab'ed the push rod. Wont know until I pull it out.
