When I restored my truck I put in new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, & clutch fork. Also, new brass pilot bushing (?) in the crank end. Adjusted the clutch and had it a little loose so tightened it up to give about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of clutch pedal play and I like the point the clutch engages. Problem I have now is that the clutch pedal doesn't quite disengage all the way and I can feel and hear what I think is the throw out bearing being slightly engaged. When I pull the clutch pedal up 1/4 inch and hold it, the sound goes away and things are fine.
When I bought the truck in 92 it had two springs under the dash and I had to stand on the clutch so I removed the one that had been added. At the time I assumed one was factory correct. Ran it 70,000 miles and throw out bearing and pressure plate were fine when I tore the truck down. I suspect the extra spring was added to eliminate the problem I have now. I read a post from 2007 by Captakos that suggested replacing the bushings under the dash. Will check them but just wondering if I am on the right track or if there is something I am missing. Guess I could take the clutch adjustment out a little but when I do that the push rod gets a little loose in the fork even though I have a good spring. I really don't want to add a spring under the dash because the clutch engages pretty firm now. Left knee is getting weary as it is with 4spd & 4.10's. Thanks, will not be offended if told I idid (or am) doing something wrong. Suggestions??
