Ok, fair enough. Is there something the shop could have done wrong? I'm no clutch expert, but I think all they did was clean it and reattach it to the engine.

There was freeplay. Probably to the tune of about 1/2 inch. I lengthened the rod to increase the free play to 1 1/4 inch, but aside from it softening the pedal, I don't see any difference. The clutch ...

so, just to make sure, I lengthened the push rod, and it now has more travel before it disengages the clutch. Theoretically, should that strengthen the grip of the pressure plate on the clutch?

I have that and I already looked at that Wes. I lengthened the push rod a bit and I'll test it in the morning. I was just wondering if that was the main adjustment I needed to do. As in, will that ena ...

The engine came out, a new rear main seal went in, and now the clutch acts like it is slipping. It has plenty of material left, maybe it just needs to be adjusted? Can you adjust it?

Actually, about 4 years. so about 30,000 in 4 years, although quite probably less than that, as I've had on again and off again speedometer problems. All told, that actual figure might be closer to 20 ...

It's been about 30,000 miles. I'm never low on gear oil, and I don't speed shift. I think the clutch is adjusted correctly, how do I tell?

Hey Wes. It's not real loud, but is definitely a grinding noise. I think the slipping part is my feeling like the vehicle is 'slipping" into gear. It only happens when I'm moving, it seems to be at lo ...

Between the M38 and M38A1 tires. I know the M38A1 went with a rounded edge versus the flat edge on the M38, why was this?

It;s been running fine the last few days. I talked to my mechanic friend who works on vintage jeeps, and he says these old clutches aren't made for stop and go traffic. I might have temporarily heat g ...

I put a new clutch and throwout nearing in there maybe 10,000 miles ago. I just checked, and free play before it engages is less than 1 inch
