Getting the Wheeling Fever

The saga continues: the clutch was needing to be punched to the floor with the point of my toe to grind it down far enough for me to shift. I adjusted the pedal as much as I could; couldn't back the master cylinder pin out any further or it would've fallen out of the T-pin thing. Still engages pretty far down. While under the dash I noticed a split in the clutch bracket. It didnt seem to be moving when I was engaging the clutch, but maybe it's been push down/bent and that's why the master cylinder pin can't back out far enough??? It doesn't look very fun to replace. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

Not a real common problem but it does happen. Replace or weld, it is your choice. Either one is a bummer to do.

Replace looks to be pricey (like $200), but I sold my welder with the divorce (10 years ago). Replacing that's even pricier <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Doesn't that guy in Palmer have Toys in his yard? www.car-part.comI'd probably yank the seat out of the way to do a bracket R&R.

That's not too bad an idea (the seat thing). I should look for a used bracket?

I would if you're not going to yank your old one and have someone reweld for you. I'd give the floorpan a good looking over too, esp if you're heavy-footed. I've toggled this thread a LONG time ago; have thrown it out here quite a bit since: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.p...&PHPSESSID=
