Re: New clutch, truck barely moves now,

1 inch of free play huh?

Ok get this: I ordered a clutch kit for my truck (clutch throwout bearing pressureplate), I also had my flywheel turned at carquest

anyhow, I realized when I got home the throwout bearings didnt match, long story short we wernt able to come up with the same throwout bearing as my old one, well we got one that was the same, but a little different here and there, the guy at the parts store (manager, i trust him pretty good, he has a 67 step btw lol) said he thoguth it would work, mic said it was the same etc etc..I think it was from late 70's 3spd manual.

so..i'll try the 1" of freeplay and go from there, thanks guys maybe i'll get to go for a spin this evening..
