Doug&Deb Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 Part of my problem was the throw out bearing. The bearing is pressed 1/4 inch past the end of the sleeve. I replaced it with the old bearing which helped. The problem is I’m out of adjustment and I can’t get the 1/8-5/32 clearance between the rod and clutch fork. Is there something I’m missing? The manual doesn’t specify any other adjustments. The car drives fine but it grinds going into reverse so I don’t think I’m completely disengaging the clutch. I should add it’s a rebuilt clutch from Tennessee Clutch and the engine was replaced also. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ194950 Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Grinds going into reverse? Don't they all? Not sure with a fluid clutch set up, but I always (mostly) shifted into second gear followed closely in to reverse and eliminated the grinding. Has been a while since I drove the 3 speed in the 50 Ply. just a thought. Seems you will soon have a beautiful driving car. Best of wishes! ?
