Mf 390 clutch

[Green grower]

Need a little advice on massy 390 clutch
Installed a new clutch a few years ago at the time of fitting had to use longer bolts on clutch fingers to get it to clear properly now at end of adjustment can't adjust clutch to clear anymore usually when plate is worn pedal rises and knee is behind ear so adjust back, this is going other way would I have a problem with thrust baring or wrong one fitted at clutch and and plate change? Any ideas

What type of clutch plate does it have?
Is it conventional circular disc or paddle?

 

[Green grower]

Circular

is the linkage come slack on shaft end and allowing it to turn, or is the shaft its self twisting off, where it comes out of the bell housing on the near side

 

[Green grower]

Can't see any problems with that

Could it be the cable is stretched? Pedal on our 390t was getting lower n lower kept adjusting it back then one day it went ping. Was only holding by one or two wires.

Yes if its cable type it will have stretched.
A build up of clutch dust on a worn clutch will cause drag but shouldn't be an issue with a new clutch.
Did you skim the flywheel consequently moving the clutch further away from the release bearing.
Fork worked loose on cross shaft?

Finally had time to split 1 link between pressure plate and link failed /cast broken on end letting pin move
New clutch assembly and plate ready to fit
any body know finger setting? Or just go with factory settings

The thrust bearing gone and you rapidly gain free play so you can't engage a gear or disconnect the drive.

A complete new clutch assy will be set up and the toggle bolts will have a blob of paint on them, so just fit it.
If you want to check I have the measurement.
