Just got my service manual and found the tolerance of clutch pedal play.that is 1 and 1/16 something to go by for reassemble. I also took a good amount of time to emery paper the spine on the input shaft just incase the clutch may have been binding at all.

Just dropped of the clutch adjustment rod at the machine shop to just be straightened and the linkage to be filled and redrilled also ordering tourque bushings

May be hard to see in this picture but the clutch fork adjustment linkage is bent. I'm going to a machine shop today to have a new one made. I'm also going to add 1/4 to 3/8s of length to the threaded side to allow me to adjust the clutch properly. My machinist is charging 100 bucks to fill and redrll the holes that are e longgated as well as making me a new adjustment rod I feel is worth all of the money.

The first pick is the new/very old transmission that came in the trunk. Second picture is of my input shaft from driving for years with NO pilot bushing. Surprised this car drove great with only a slight noise while idling with the car in neutral.

This is the pedal linkage that needs to be refilled

I ordered new pilot bushing and the installation tool.thank you all very much for your help

today after inspecting all of the clutch pedal linkage to fork I found the just rod going to the fork has a slight bend to it I run out of adjustment before it's adjusted enough. so that's gonna have to be addressed also both sides of that those rods go into are elongated so fill and Redrill those tommarow. Second I took the input shaft on the old tranny and tried putting it into the bearing definitely too tight for sure. so question is can I get something like a 3/4 hand flute and just ream the brass bushing? How to I know if it's olite also? Lastly I used Sae 90w Mineral gear oil Api gl-1 is that going to be OK for this application thank you

Another key part I forgot to explain is if I start the car in gear the trans is spinning free and quieter than I've ever heard this car when I press the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor however if I apply the e brake the trans shaft stops completely without affecting idle or stalling so this is the reasoning behind me looking into the pedal assembly itself because it seems the clutch must be partially engaged or the car would immediately stall

What is the best gear oil for my transmission I put in napa spl 90w non synthetic gear oil ?is this OK I'm sure there's something better Also on my car the clutch disc only can go on one direction due to clearance issues on the flywheel studs I also checked the input shaft and disc for any obvious marks there are none so I took time to use emery paper to thoroughly clear the spline I think I'll try to clean the splines on the new clutch However the clutch moves free on the shaft while on the bench

OK so the bushing is still installed and looks to be in good shape I'm going to get a gauge measure it I did test fit the bushing before I installed one Thank so much for everyone's help So I'm curious Joe if you have an idea of where I can purchase a burnishing pilot bearing instalation tool? Further into the clutch pedal assembly I found both bushings for each ball and socket where shot also one of the two clutch pedal rods has an elongated hole Also the adjustment rod is fully adjusted but still could use another 3/8 to fully take play out of the pedal the rod has a bend to it not factory I'm deff going to fill and Redrill the egged hole and I'll make a new rod for the clutch fork adjustment So many pictures but I can't post them files are to big

Got the trans out found a small brass line on the input shaft indicating to me that the pilot bushing may be have a burn and tighter clearance than allowed Looking further into my clutch pedal assembly after years of wear there rods have egged out the holes they go into witch also may not be fully engaging the clutch I inspected the input shaft spline and the clutch slides nicely cleaned all spline with emery paper Also found a broken clutch return spring for the pedal so I'll order a new pilot bushing new return spring and see what happens from there

need help I bought a 39 dodge d10 with a rumble from the clutch but runs perfect it has a 53dodge engine tranny I was told I took the transmission off because it was pouring fluid into the clutch assembly witch i believed caused chatter issuesand found the car was missing the pilot bushing also the clutch spring housing was broken the throughout bearing sounded like it was dipped in sand I already had a spare tranny so From there I ordered a gasket kit new clutch pressure plate had the flywheel machined pilot bushing and throughout bearing So I tapped the pilot bushing flush with the crank couldn't find a definitive answer if the bushing is flush or not due to there being no bushing in there I had nothing to go by I installed the bell housing to torque I then installed the flywheel that only lines up one way to torque I then installed clutch and pressure plate also torqued Put new throughout bearing The transmission then went on I got longer bolts to thread into the housing to slowy walk the transmission into the bell housing Going on i could push the Trans in by hand had to walk it in with bolts Once it was all back together I started the car still no floor so it was at idle with the clutch pressed in and the emergency brake applied the output shift of the Trans was stopped and the engines rpms didn't fluctuate so trying to **** I to any gear there's a grind Open father inspection I adjust the clutch forks clutch pedal linkage realize that both holes are egged from 85 years of use I put temporary spacers into the rods to take the play out of the linkage however in gear running with transmission shafts spinning this car is quieter than I thought possible the emergency brake pad makes more noise than anything lol So here is where I'm at I'm going to take this all back apart today to inspect for anything unusual I will check the spline on the input shaft however does anyone have a checklist of things to check also I need help with the clearance of my pilot bushing I want to know more about what a pilot bushing either clearance is to tight or miss installed what issues could that possibly cause I also would like contact info for someone who can rebuild my original Trans because even with it low on fluid and missing a pilot bushing still drove great I'm 34 this is my only car I'm going to daily drive it so time is a factor please reach out with help I want to keep this old beauty crankin Thank you sincerely Eric Kouseneric@gmail.com 475 224 6226
