Clutch Problems

Just spent the entire day on replacing the clutch in my 66. It has a 352 with three on the tree. My problem is that the pedal will only return only half way once depressed. I've made all the adjustments I know to make but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks, mrwillie66

Sometimes. We've done just about everything to try to fix it. Plan on pulling the whole thing out and backtracking tomorrow. I should have just swapped it out with a fmx that I have but it's more fun to shift the gears!!

Clutch Problems

I'll have to admit to installing the friction disk backwards one time - it's not all that hard to do if you are in a hurry. The center piece hits the flywheel making the whole thing too thick, so the pressure plate doesn't fully release. The end result was a low pedal and no neutral... and no one to blame but myself!
