slave cyclinder rod
Turbo Mini Forums

hows it all... when changing the metro setup on the clutch to the mini setup how long do u make the adjustable slave cyclinder rod?

my mini has a cold

What adjustable rod?

Explain some more!

i thought u just need to repalce the smaler cable actuated arm to the long hidraulic acting one maintaining the same wok an wok internals

i am useing the metro clutch and i have bolted on the mini slavecylinder on and the mini arm on but when i push the the clutch down the rod on the arm is to short that goes into the slave an it wont engage the clutch .

my mini has a cold

When you refer to mini arm i assume you mean the arm that pivots on the flywheel housing?

Try bleeding it again i had a similar problem with clutch not engaging after a thorough bleed it was ok.

Whats going to break next!?

If you are using the metro clutch you need to use the metro short arm and slave

1293 Turbo mini

sorry dumb portuguese here i still dindt get it
i have a verto cable clutch engine
and a non verto hidraulic setup in the car were the slave cyl is bolted on tranfer casing and have the long type arm.
what exacly do i need to actuate my verto cluch?

can replace short arm for the long one and place the slave cyl in the same spot??

or do i need the plate that bolts on the wok to place a A+ slave cyl and keep the rest?

thank guys

Venom ,

I 'ASSUME' you have a mini aleady working with the long-arm setup with the slave mounted horizontally?
If so - this is a Pre-verto.
I'm now ALSO assuming that you've puchased a metro engine which is sat somewhere in you garage - ie NOT in the mini.
This unit has the cable slave setup as you comment.

Well - If you want this to work in yout mini, you need to puchase a Short Verto arm, a Verto pushrod, a verto slave and hose and a verto slave bracket, along with some short 3/8 UNC bolts, and a long 1/4" UNF bolt and some tube to make up a spacer.

Easiest option in my opinion; find a complete cover on ebay (or put an ad in the wanted section)...
