Clutch pedal shim


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I’m working on a 46 dodge wc 1/2 ton truck. There’s a little half circle shim that goes under the clutch pedal where it slides onto the clutch fork. I’m having a time trying to put that shim back in, so really I just wanted to ask if it’s really needed and what’s it’s purpose?

There is a half-moon key that locks  the pedal arm to the shaft . You for sure need it in place as it locks the arm in place on the shaft . You don't want to rely on just the clamping force of the locking bolt . I have seen some half-moon key that have had slight metal removed to fit . Yes it is really needed .

Thank you very much, I’ll make sure it goes in.
