I have an 81 p/u. I put in a marlin L52 5spd. and a trail gear ceramic clutch yesterday. Everything is hooked up, bled the cluch slave, but the clutch is not engaging. Without pushing down the clutch pedal i can still shift the tranny. Any ideas what it could be?

 

Talked to a friend of mine whos a mechanic. He said that maybe i forgot to put the 2 clips that hold the clutch fork and throwout bearing hub together on. If i did would this cause this problem?

 

Order a 1979 Toyota 4x4 truck clutch slave cylinder; its adjustable with thread and locknuts.

 

is this with the vehicle running?

 

i used a combination of this: the adjustable piston from the 79/80 with the 1981 slave cylinder.

 

the "adjustable " part of the slave cylinder (the pushrod) is a fairly easy piece to replicate . This is the only differance between the cylinders
the best way for an "adjustable " clutch ... which may help your problem

Yeah is this with the truck running or not? With the truck off, you will be able to shift through all the gears without pushing in the clutch.
