Hi guys, could someone tell me how long it measures from the base to the top on the clutch arm push rod?

Regards, Luis

If my memory serves me I think it's 75mm from the end to the nearest pert of the inner hole, so to your line prabably be about 70mm.

That's true. What an eye you have! Maybe should be a new one.

Most definitely change that for new, remove the Wok to and replace the complete plunger assembly

Thank you guys! I ask the question because this one in the photo is mine, and it's longer than the standard one. A friend lengthened it years ago with welding, and now I have premature problems with the clutch disc. I think it may be related to having lengthened the arm push rod.

Regards

i would be looking at the whole lever assy as i bet all the clevis pins will be worn and the arm will have worn holes and a worn ball.

There were slightly different lengths over the years.

If everything is in good, unworn condition then its not actually that critical as long as the slave cylinder doesn't hit the stops at either end of its travel.

Thank you for your answers. My main problem is that I have a lot of difficulty when it comes to putting the first gear on very hot days. When the weather is cold, the first one enters directly and in a dry way, as there are no "dilations". The second problem that tells me that the clutch is not right is that when a gear is engaged and you step on the clutch pedal, you feel that the gear is on and the engine does not turn freely. I do not know if I explain myself very well.

When you go down a hill, for example in second gear, and you step on the clutch, the engine should turn freely without any obstacle, but in this case it is not, and it seems that it does not disengage perfectly.

The Clutch master (metal type) and Slave cylinder (pre-verto type) was fitted only a few months ago in the car, but I didn't feel any improve.

Replace that, if you havent already, and the bit the ball joint fits in to in the bell housing / wok... then work back up replace very pivot, pin etc...1 mm wear at the clutch pedal pivot magnifies big time down to the end of the thrust  bearing on the clutch

 

I use this
