Yep................ Throwout Stop and Lock Nut :shock:

Questions regarding these missing peices of the puzzle........
1. What affect does not having this do to clutch adjustment/working ability?
2. It says in the manual to set the adjustable stop to 1.524mm (0.060") from the operating lever, does anyone's settings differ from this factory setting?
2. Does anyone up here in SE QLD have one i can purchase off them??

Also, am missing the release lever spring, so if anyone has one of those as well :oops: .

They only stop your clutch from "overthrowing" (they are called "clutch overthrow stop nuts" from memory.....)

Not a problem if your clutch is set up even close to right.....
I never knew you needed them until i got a haynes manual (about 3 years after getting the car...) and mine had none....

Dont sweat it....

Steve, i have them all here in stock if you havn`t got them allready

Both the nuts & the spring are vital for correct clutch opperation,,,you really don`t want to see what happens if you have a problem with the clutch & these nuts aren`t fitted & set correctly,,,do the words, """Broken main bearing cap""" sound very nice????????

yes, if these nuts aren`t fitted & set correctly, all that`s needed is a bit of a problem with the clutch & it can """OVER THROW""" & when that happens, the pressure of the clutch works directly onto the crank thrusts working on the centre main bearing cap, enevitably fatigueing it & busting it off...& yes i`ve seen the results,,,Not Pretty

everyone should make sure that they have them fitted & set correctly,,,that`s what they`re there for & that`s what they`re called,,,"OVER THROW" nuts,,,should really be named """ANTI OVER THROW NUTS"""

I know of quite a few so called "mini specialists" that don`t bother to fit them claiming that they`re not needed & ,,,well,,,they may very well find out how wrong they are :-)

You are right Matt, as usual, :lol: but they are the LAST thing to adjust, after you are happy with the pedal height etc.

The number of times I see them screwed too far in and people wonder why their clutch don't throw out... :shock:

BTW, real early 850 Minis never had them- not even a thread sticking out there! :lol:
