Sure I do. When I had my sand jeep in the early '70s I ran a Muncie
"rockcrusher" behind a Ford "Boss 302." Can't remember what kind of clutch I
used, but I definitely remember my left leg muscles getting so fatigued when
holding the pedal down that my thighs would burn and my leg would quiver from
exhaustion. Sometimes I did have to hold my knee down with my hands. I didn't
like stiff clutch pedals then, and don't like 'em now.

That's what I thought too, and so did several clutch experts, including a
NASCAR engine builder. Turned out not to be the linkage or the fork at all
(replaced both with new - for no benefit). Using a clutch for a '79 CJ-7 with
T-150 tranny solved everything. (Same as the clutch for a J20 with Jeep T-18)

Re: T18/Dana300 swap update
Hi Bill,
thanks for your answer. May I ask what the price is of the clutch you
bought ?
According to the tranny place the Luk clutch they recommended is going
to cost approx $175.

Re: T18/Dana300 swap update
Ok,
Here's my thoughtprocess. The flywheel is a flat disk (in that CJ) so
when I have a correct working clutch then it should work. correct ?
I can imagine the linkage doesn't have enough throw and when the wrong
clutch is used it doesn't go to the point of "maximum release"
But I already messed with that, changing the linkage so it has more
throw. But still it does the same thing.
I am just wondering if the place where I got the clutch I have now maybe
gave me a clutch that was wrong and that maybe the clutchdisk is too
"thick" for the pressure plate used ?
Anyway, I am going to take the Jeep apart (again). What I am wondering
though ..... when I put a new clutch in and again it isn't working ....
can I return it and say "this one isn't working for the application I
told you I needed it for. (or is it like, you bought it...it's yours.
