Is this common problem?
What I'm running into is this.
Experts please.
Stock B body.
New rebuild parts from Brewer's
Original Z bar, peddle rod and fingered pressure plate.
First time I've monkeyed with a MOPAR 4 speed though.
Everything works fine.
Concerned about the throw out bearing clearance.
If I have enough clearance between the fingers of the pressure plate and the throw out bearing that I'm comfortable with, the peddle doesn't quite make it up all the way on a slow, normal release.
Tap it with your toe and it pops on up the last something like 1/2 inch.
(Which is actually just about that much past the brake peddle, They are not exactly even at rest.)
If I take the little spring off between the Z bar and the clutch fork to check and get what seem to be a good factory 5/32 play at the end of the clutch fork.
Then peddle pops up good on a slow release but there sure doesn't seem to be a lot of space between the bearing and fingers.
How close is it supposed to be to the fingers and how can you tell with the bearing that far up out of sight?
I can hear it "click" when moving the clutch fork checking. But forget actually measuring it.
I'm trying to say I THINK there is SOME clearance when adjusted "properly" but no room for clutch disk wear, I'd say.
Do I need to live with the toe tap? I'd rather do that than risk a new throw out bearing.
Pulled this from another thread.
Maybe a "peddle rod" (wear) problem.
Order a new one and then what?
No difference I'm afraid.
