Need a clutch?
My CJ clutch pedal engages 1/2 inch off the floor. It seems to grab fine. I
just bought it last week. Or does it need adjusting?? Allen |
Re: Need a clutch?
Adjusting.
You worry when it is at the top and can't adjust any more down. I set mine up higher than 'I' like it so my wife with short legs can drive it easily. I am 6'4" with a 37" inseam and my wife is 5'2". The book says you should have 1/2" of flop at the top end of the pedal. If not, you have linkage or mount issues likely. You might want to check the pivot points on the linkage. If an engine or tranny mount is bad, the clutch pedal will change radically. The bar from the body to the bell housing also needs grease witch most folks don't know, there is a grease nipple on it.

Re: Need a clutch?
No it was like that when I got it. It's a YJ tub on a CJ...wonder if there
is adjustment issues that can't be resolved. Will get under there tomorrow. Thanks!

Re: Need a clutch?
There may be adjustment issues... but they CAN be resolved. Is there a body
lift? If so, might need to extend the length of the clutch rod (from the peddle to the bellcrank).

Re: Need a clutch?
As Mike said, you want to make sure the throw out bearing's not
riding the pressure plate, so make sure you have at least an half inch of free play at the top, released. Where it releases at is controlled by the type of pressure plate, disk, and whether you're using bell cranks and push or pull rods, or hydraulics to release it.
