Os giken super single problem??

[paddy 180]

Iv fitted an os giken super single clutch to my sr20 180sx. I got a release bearing with the clutch and it looks to be the right one, but im not sure.
The car wont go into gear when its turned on..it will when its turned off, it seems as if the clutch isnt disengageing.
We took down the box again and put a spacer on the sleve behind the release bearing, put the box up and still the same problem??
We even tried putting a spacer between the rod of the slave cylinder and the fork after, and it still only pushes the fork in the same amount, as in the rod didnt come ouit as much with the spacer.
The slave cylinder is a brand new nismo aswel, so its defenetly able to push it.
Any help appreciated and sorry for the essay

We had the box down today, and made sure to check that.. its defenetly in the right way.

with most of them clutch kits you get a full kit like , release bearing , sleeve , slave cylinder etc with the clutch , had this problem before.

where did u get it ? u should have got everything that was fitted to the last car it came out of.. often the release bearing is narrower , often the sleeve is shorter and usually the slave cylinder is different also.

i put multiplate clutches in both my s14's.
last time i noticed on the orc super single clutch , is that the pin comin out of the slave cylinder itself is actually about 10 - 15 mm longer than standard . so that could be a problem ...

an the sleeve that the release bearing sits on was also shorter...

on another twin plate os giken clutch i put in the other s14 , i had similar problem, i bought it off a guy , he gave me a standard sleeve for release bearing , couldn get it right , went back to the same lad checked the box that was fitted to same car as clutch , and the sleeve was left in the box thank fuck.. i measured the difference and the sleeve part was actually 8mm shorter than the standard one... the release bearing was exact same width as a standard one..

check out these things , hope it helps , and i know for sure that on some of the clutches kits the release bearing is often narrower.. may be the problem an may not.. try get the parts from the car it came out of...

nothings easy , pity there not jus a simple fit..

Thanks lads, im trying to find information on the super single on the web, but its only info on the super twin that i can find.
I got it off japenese performance a year ago, but i had to rebuild my engine and alot more setbacks after that, so i ony got around to fitting it now.
Its a second hand clutch, he said he got them off os themselves..
He gave me the clutch and a release bearing, but im doubting if the bearing is right now.
And as for noting being easy..THATS FOR SURE!

You have to adjust your pedal!!!!! Adjuster on back of pedal...Screw the threaded bar out of the pedal then re tighten the 12mm retaining nut... Leave 3/4 inch free play at top of pedal
