Hello ALL.
I am having more clutch problems and could use any advise on same.
Below is a synopsis of the history (as I know it). Comments welcome.
symptom fix
============================= ======================================
bought car clutch was working.
Some slippage. 98k miles
clutch was slipping. 100k. replaced clutch, pressure plate and throw-out,
sleeve, pilot, shift fork, fork cross-shaft
(and re-bushed bell housing). Note : Laycock.
noisy clutch at ~105k replaced fatigued throw-out bearing. Added
clutch 'catches' and causes simple clutch return spring outside of bell.
driver to 'pop' the clutch
NOW: clutch noise returned and None yet. Bearing is again bad. Pressure plate
shifting became difficult until has circular groove worn (slightly oblong) into
clutch was mostly inoperative. it where the throw-out bearing touched.
110k miles. (No, I did not ride the clutch).
Side notes : 75 tr-6 with what 'appears to be a 74 tranny
Questions :
1. ?
2. Any distinct differences between 74 and 75 bell/tranny ?
3. How much should T.O. bearing travel before touching the pressure
plate? After contact ,how much further does it push into the
the pressure plate ?
HELP PLEASE.
