How to measure and adjust clutch air gap so you can have proper engagement and disengagement.

[@DriftJesus]

Good vid. Since you used the same caliper to space your digital caliper you could have used the initial two numbers aswell

[@NoMercyGTCS]

Awesome video, thanks for taking the time to explain that. Makes alot more sense now.

I’m going to be running a monster clutch in my build when ever I can find the time to work on it

[@AdrianInTheZ]

What would happen if you were to not run a shim with that much air gap?? Would the clutch not engage fully? Or would it just engage further in the pedal travel??

Very good video on the subject. Terminology is a little off/confusing though. "Air gap" as it relates to this means an actual gap between the bearing surface and the pressure plate fingers. These OEM style CSC's always ride the bearing on the clutch fingers. What you've done is set the preload and thus the proper operating range for the CSC.

[@williamrose3191]

is there a minimum 'air gap'? or ideal gap amount?

[@Larry8156]

Good video, I have one question I have a tdi which is not going in to gear when the car is starting, but go in well when off, will something like a spacer on the concentric work for me?

[@DGGarage]

You probably have air in the system. I would try bleeding it and bleeding it again.

[@rubenvillalobos15]

Does it mean my slave is bad if it doesn’t go all the way down after removing the spring and lines adapters ?

[@DGGarage]

I have seen them do that before. If you push it harder it will go the rest of the way down

[@rubenvillalobos15]

Oh shit dude thanks I’m literally working on it right now. Really fast reply! Love your videos by the way

[@rubenvillalobos15]

It did go down but pushing it

[@rubenvillalobos15]

@@DGGarageis it bad to run more then one shim bro ?

[@DGGarage]

@@rubenvillalobos15 no run as many as you need to get it in spec.

Doing all this measuring in mm instead of inches is 1000 times easier. Why anyone would do this not in metric is beyond me. Literally simple numbers 9+10=? Instead of 3.1245-1.924 blah blah blah. Just use the metric system

Absolutely
