Clutch pedal adjustment?

[68 TT]

I have bad knees as well so I have taken to dropping it into neutral when slowing down and while sitting at lights just to take the load off my knees.

Mine has 5.13 gears in it so I am shifting a whole lot so every bit of relief for my knees is welcome even if it is at the expense of my brakes.

I plan on installing the 4L80E automatic I have here after I finish gathering all the parts I need for the conversion.

Ahh...that should help! Right now I'd say the complete travel is about double the brake pedal and the clutch doesn't start to release until more than half way through...

Ouch, I thought my 4.56's were bad! I'm definately leaning towards an auto swap. I just have a bad feeling I'm going to get reverse and first mixed up in a bad place....

I'll try and tinker with it a little more tonight and see what I can break. It's hard to post questions when your computer and truck are parked 10 miles apart....

That is what you should do anyway, Brakes are cheaper that rebuilding the transmission and it saves wear on the throwout bearing, Downshifting is really only useful in racing a emergencies.
