RE: Another newbie question..savage x4.6.. When putting clutch bell on will u see a little clutch pad
While you should have a little play (about 1mm) on the clutch bell, it seems like you either have too much play, or there is an obstruction. If you have greater than 1mm of play, did you put the shims back on in the same order? I've yet to take my clutch bell off on my Savage X 4.6, but assume there are multiple shims in it.
If the play is at about 1mm, then I would check the collet. Did you take the flywheel off too?
If it helps, I attached a picture of the stock setting. Mine only has five tanks in it...so it's still very new. You can see the shoes are no visible. This is with the clutch bell pushed out toward the front as far as it will go.
Have you tried running it? If so, is there a difference in performance? Thanks
