If it's solid and everything lines up OK it shouldn't be the cause of the clutch problems. Do you notice the cab sagging in that area?

the clutch was never installed right in the first place back in 2000. and when i questioned them about it they said that it was new and there will be a work in period and i said F.U and nerver went back.

OK the best thing to do is take it apart and see whatcha got. It could very well be a clutch slave cylinder. They live in the mud, the blood and the beer and corrode in a hurry. If it were me, I'd replace the clutch. You're there, why bother using what's there? I'd also at least replace the slave and rebuild the master. I'd also replace the hydraulic line. They aren't available, but I went to this local place called House of Hose. They made me up a new one for a Franklin. Three things I'm **** about; brakes, steering and clutch in that order of importance. I also don't like doing things over which is why I just spend the $$ and make sure the whole clutch system is 'up to and touching' as we used to say in boot camp. Also check your clutch fork. That's readily available as well. I got a new one. The clutch fork pivot I left because it's in good shape. But those are easy to get too.

The last clutch kit I put into a 66 352 has the "new" diaphram release. My first thought was how too soft it feels, like a worn out pressure plate. I think an old term for the feel is "mushy". I prefer the feel of the old springs. I hope it out lasts the old spring style. I will not bet either way on it.

[quote=Macs1964F100;13169474]My 64 with 292 is soft enough I think it could be a diaphragm style, but I have 220hp Porsche motor that is tamed by diaphragm style that requires half the effort. I am hoping for something in between when I change the truck clutch. I like my manual steering and brakes but the clutch is used a lot more.[/qu

I do not but am looking for an oil bath breather to convert to a dry filter. There are several post on the forum on how to do the conversion.
