Topic: Clutch woes

[Zs Confederate Toy]

I have an 85 PU with a 22r. I recently did the clutch and now there is almost no pedal travel and the clutch engages as soon as you let even the slightest amount of pressure off the pedal. It doesn't really disengage all of the way either, its hell on shifting up and down. We have done everything to diagnose it but no fix.

Sounds like there's air in the system........


Try bleeding the clutch.

We have done that like 3 or 4 times cuz thats what we thought it was too. When ya look at the pedal its alot further towards the floor than the brake pedal.

Lengthen the push rod then...........

[Zs Confederate Toy [OP]]

I guess I never thought about tryin that.

adjust the rod at the pedal.

yeah you need to actually ADJUST the clutch pedal. you need more length between the clutch pedal and master cylinder

Awesome! Thanks guys. I will have to adjust that in the morning and give 'er a try

If that doesn't work you may have either a bad Clutch master or slave cyl. Happens sometimes with the new and improved clutch pressure.

did you have the flywheel surfaced with a .026 inch step??

[Zs Confederate Toy [OP]]

We did not have it surfaced because it had been surfaced about 20k miles before. The problem was the push rod. Since today was my day off, I decided to climb up under there and check it out. I decided that its a PITA to adjust the it. Definitly gotta be a contortionist lol. It took me a few tries to get it just right but I got 'er done.

[emsvitil]

When you start getter older, you can still get under there.................

 



It's getting out from under there;  that's the problem........
