It's a 1986 Cherokee chief, if that helps.. Thanks, Matt PICTURES OF MY 1986 ISUZU TROOPER PROJECThttp://www.cardomain.com/ride/2524435/1 Re: Can you adjust a hydraulic clutch???

If you aren't getting the clutch to disengage enough, and the system has been bled properly, you may have to modify your release lever, to get a better angle! 1981 CJ5, 258, T176, D300, D30, AMC20, 30x9.50 Re: Can you adjust a hydraulic clutch???

But, if you are mechanically inclined messing with the push rod or the pedal height might change the timing of an open clutch. If the clutch is not fully engaging and is slipping...then it is time for a new clutch KIT!

I like them where they engage right off the floor.. Might just have to get used to it.. thanks, Matt PICTURES OF MY 1986 ISUZU TROOPER PROJECThttp://www.cardomain.com/ride/2524435/1 Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
