new clutch problem
 

...just finished installing a new clutch on my 85 cj7 /amc 150
4popper. Now the clutch won't disengage...I bled the hydraulic clutch
system...I'm sure I put the disc on properly...the only way i could
get it to work was to use a 6 inch socket extender in place of the
slave cylinder push rod. It's working but what went wrong? Where did
I lose the space?? Why is the clutch slave push rod now too short??
Any ideas?

Re: new clutch problem
 

The most obvious is wrong parts. Do you notice any difference between the
old and new parts? Your Jeep is ten years older than mine, but a 6 inch
socket extender seems kind of long. If the ends aren't exactly right too,
your new "push rod" is going to wear funny and no doubt fall off with time.
Also, is the clutch actuating arm seated properly on the pivot? I believe
that it sits on a pivot inside the bell housing on your model, and that if
it has popped off of there that might account for the missing space.

We believe you're missing the fork's pivot ball, number twenty:

the outside, via a mirror and prayers.

the clutch fork doesn't look like the one in the diagram-the slave
cylinder push rod enters on the passenger's side, and there is a pivot
ball on the driver's side -I checked-pulled the inspection plate-and I
could see the ball still there. However, there never was part 20 from
the beginning when I opened it up...Is that plastic?
