Funky clutch
Well my clutch fork fell off about 4 months ago while I was adjusting the clutch. Come to find out the little lever that the fork pivots on was loose. One of the two bolts had broken off. I kinda impovised and bent the tang on the back of the fork to cause pressure and left it at that.
Now the clutch is acting kinda funky; when I take off after parking for a while the clutch peddle kinda pops up as if it were half way ingaged. At times It wont let me get in into reverse. It acts like it needs to be adjusted but I know it will just fall apart.
So what Im getting at is how do I replace the clutch assembly? Does anyone have any suggestions? Where can i get the parts cheap?

J,
What kind of truck do you have?
What size motor?
Clutches for 73-79 are availble everywhere car parts are sold.
If the clutch pedal is pulsing as you let the clutch out, you may have to have the flywheel resurfaced. While the flywheel is off check the rear crank seal. If its leaking, you should fix that as well.
There are many more questions to be answered here.

You can get the clutch fork an pivot ball,also other little bushings an grommets for your Z bar through a few of FTE's sponsor's.
The clutch removal an install is not that hard.I would have the flywheel Resurfaced regardless you'll be right there might as well do it right the first time.There pretty cheap to haved turned.The clutch kit you can buy anywhere you buy parts but you'll have to know the wheather its a 10 or 11 inch clutch disk.
