Clutch solid

[transitman]

Hi.
Carefully dismantled and rebuilt the clutch. Everything looked ok. Fitted the cable and tried it but got no movement at all. Pulled it apart and it's now on the bench but can't see anything wrong.
Can anyone advise on what could be wrong?

Hmmm I’ve never had one apart before got be be something simple I’d say ...

Is the actuator pin in place?

Hi Dan
The pin is there ok. Got the whole assembly laid out on the bench, no apparent faults. The little cam plate and adjuster is all free and good, the cable is new, as are the plates, the lifter plate, the pressure plate. Removed plate B and replaced with 2 standard plates.

This is the closest I found to your symptom, might be an idea?

I had a problem once on the 1100 clutch where the lever wouldn’t push in on the center throw out bearing. It was solid and didn’t move. It’s been so long I can’t remember what was causing it, but it did turn out to be I had assembled something wrong. Seems like I had put the center spider piece in wrong, bolt placement maybe?
Sorry I can’t help more than that.

Thanks for looking Mike, but I don't think it's that
Thanks Dan, I'm assuming I've done something wrong so got it all over the bench.
Giving it overwhelming thought

On the 1200, the splined washer being in the wrong place will cause the symptom you have. Yes, I must pull the engine (again!) to fix the solid clutch problem.
