Hows it going guys? I Haven't been here in a while. Anyway I just recently replaced the clutch on my '87 due to the old one slipping badly, and I've had it back for a few days and it seems to work great. But, it feels wierd to me. Is there any way to adjust where the clutch engages in the travel of the pedal? It just feels too much like the old clutch but without the slipping. Any ideas?

Everything is in spec except the clutch release point. Any more ideas? Everything clutch related is new except the slave cylinder and lines

yotaman90

Anybody?

if its grabbing low it could be the slave cylinder

Air in the lines??? Bleed it out a bit more?

yotaman90

Its actually grabbing pretty high, about 3 inches before full release. And as far as I can tell, theres no air in the lines. Are there no more adjustments that can be done?

i gotcha its grabbing to high well usually clutches have a certain break in period when they are first put in i would drive it for a little longer

yotaman90

What would be considered a break in period for a clutch?

fitzman62

idk the exact time but i would drive it for another week and see if it drives any better if not i dont really know , when i bought my trucks a few months ago the clutch was grabbing like on the floor which i thought it was a hydrulic problem but it was all fine i had a tech adjust it and it grabs right in the middle now i will ask him tommorow how to or if you can adjust the catch point on your truck

Took the truck back to the shop today and had the mechanic adjust the clutch, it feels perfect now! Although I honestly don't know what he did, something about an adjustment at the slave cylinder......?

AZkid

you can adjust how the pedal sits.
maybe you had it out/in too far
