I have a stock clutch with a balanced fly wheel coupled to a 35 transmission via an adapter and cannot get the clutch adjustment just right. the disc is new and perhaps I should have replaced the pressure plate but I did not.my question is....would the v8 pressure plate or the ford tractor plate make a difference? the fly wheel has been lightened and I never miked the depth to the contact surface....that being too deep could cause this situation.
any body with a 35 trans in an A have this? |

Re: dick
What is or isn’t happening? For example clutch won’t release or clutch slips. Or is it linkage?

Re: dick
Same question as Chuck. And, what does 'just right' mean ? Free-play should be about 1.5". Anything from 1" to 2" should work fine.

Re: dick
Thru the trans access hole, measure the finger height on the PP, they must be equal.
After making sure they are equal, adj "free play". Paul in CT |

Re: dick
the fingers were measured on a surface plate and a dial indicator and they are level all prior to installation. the clutch does not slip when tested on a steep hill it just does not fully engage until almost full extended....

Re: dick
please define what you mean as free play.....I have the min. so as not to engage the throw out bearing....never though to have it so much when fully engaged.....I could try it.

Re: dick
it doesn't slip when starting on a steep hill ...it just doesn't engage until the pedal is almost fully extended and I have attempted many different adjustments to get it where I am used to on several past a's .

Re: dick
in florida now and when I return to VT I will attempt extensive adjustment ranges but there is a need to allow for some minimal free play in the pedal....

Re: dick
it does not slip when starting on a steep hill....on level ground it is not fully engaged until almost the full pedal travel range. I can live with it but do not like it. should be able to adjust it out though.
