Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Stupid

[tshort]

Well found out how stupid I was just recently. About 3 months ago I bought a SB DD clutch. About 3 weeks later I had to upgrade the clutch hydraulic assembly seeing as how my clutch wouldn't let go. When I got it I just put it in and it worked, I didn't adjust it. Well fast forward to today and this is what happened to my clutch. Found out that since I didn't adjust the hydraulic assembly to engage the clutch sooner, it was like riding around with my foot on the clutch. Pics are in the show-n-shine gallery.

OK,so how do you make the adjustment? What is there to adjust?

The linkage inside the cab is where you make the adjustment. Where it is now is letting it engage too far out in the pedal stroke. I talked to Woody today and he said you want full engagement on the first 1/3 of full pedal stroke, after letting out on the clutch. I'm just glad he told me because the same thing would have happened in a few months.

Did it slip?



It looks abused, but nothing too bad...

I did two 4wheel drive launches and a couple of burnouts with a little over 2500 miles on the clutch. It was where the hydraulic assembley wasn't letting the clutch fully engage, like riding around with your foot on the clutch pedal.
