Clutch pedal trouble
My clutch pedal will not return the last 1 1/2 inches to the full release position and the truck won't move w/o me lifting it with my foot. I have ordered new bolt, spring and bushings from LMC. Will this replacement of "worn" parts solve the problem?

Ooops!! 1983 GMC Dump Truck dually. Crate 350 with a three speed manual and an additional low gear for pulling.

Re: Clutch pedal trouble
Is your clutch pedal parallel to the brake or is it shifted left at the bottom?
I've found that well used clutch pedals fatigue with time and start to bend to the left and eventually hit part of the steering column/pedal core support under the dash preventing the pedal from being able to return fully. A new bushing will help too, but may not be the ultimate solution.

Re: Clutch pedal trouble
Oil: clutch pedal is parallel to the brake pedal. Yup, it is also rubbing a little on the bracket. I figured that the bushing would help align the pedal.
