Just got a 93 reg cab 3.0 4x, and its beat, I'm digging into it so have some questions. For this thread, Clutch Issue, Hopefully Linkage? Clutch won't disengage completely, but engages normally during the pedal throw release, can barely drive it by starting the engine after its in gear, it'll barely shift on the fly, sometimes it'll go into 2nd at idle mostly when its warm, never cold, it acts like a linkage issue so I've bled it good and made sure the pedal is getting maximum throw and changed the slave, the slave's aluminum piston was worn bad but cups were not leaking, not much change after all that cleaning. Tried to attach clamps to manually pull the actuator arm back all the way to see if that might do the disengage thing, my lever pulling method might not have really pulled the lever back all the way? The master looks pretty good, I'll have to dig into it's guts to confirm, pedal pumping is no help or change. I'll do infinite testing and anything else before tackling a clutch. Any ideas please. Thanks

OOPS, Looks like I should have read FAQ first before going wild with posted questions. First thing in the morning gets the clutch pedal sheet metal inspection. Oh how I'm hoping its a sheet metal problem! Thanks 4x4 wire.

Git some piccies of yer setup when you git the chance. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here's an old thread you might like to toggle; it'll archive in your 'my home' section, so you don't have to search for it.

Ye ole clutch bracket

Welcome to the Wire!

Looked at the sheet metal this AM, its been rebuilt, reinforced before and looks pretty good, no slop as pedal pressure comes or goes, firewall looks ok but I'll need a helper to work the pedal while looking at it. Next step here might include pulling the clutch actuator arm all the back by a manual method to see if the clutch will then disengage fully. Has anyone figured out how to pull or push that arm back?? Thanks

You can increase the clutch throw by raising the pedal height and then readjusting the pedal free play. Both adjustments are on the brackets under the dash.
