Clutch issues
Need a little advice. 69 C-10 with a 350 and 4 speed Saginaw (Hurst floor shift). I had the motor and trans out, fixing oil leaks and just cleaning up. Pulled the trans and bell housing off to mount motor on to stand. Put everything back together, dropped it back in the truck and have been driving for a few years (clutch was done prior to pulling motor, maybe 2,000 soft miles on it). Went to drive it the other day, 1st gear-ok, 2nd gear-ok, fought like heck to get it into third. Took her back home, with engine off- runs through gears no sweat. Engine on, not so good, hard as heck to change. With the clutch pedal pressed, there is not much release movement before the clutch grabs. Could this just be an adjustment problem? If so, do I want to get more length out of the adjustment rod or less? Or do you think I have more deep rooted problems? Im hoping I dont have to pull the trans, but if I do, is a clutch job do-able with the engine in the truck?
Any help is appreciated. Also, any pics of how the linkage should look. Thanks |
