daf105paccar Thanks this. -
Many clutches are never properly lubricated, besides greasing the cross shafts, the release bearing and slide sleeve needs to be lubricated, the grease that properly the pedal, must be fully depressed, and then the bearing greased, to the point the grease is forced down the slide sleeve.
#2 the clutch pedal in the cab, if you look up the pedal, there is a tube, it has nylon bushings, on each end, and many will get very stiff, the fix is to drill the shaft with a 15/64 drill bit, in the middle of the tube, then just screw in a zert, they are 1/4 NF. no need to tap it use a nut driver to screw it in. Then grease it up, it takes a few times to get the tube fully lubricated.
I prefer to do the simple cheap things first, changing the geometry of the clutch linkage, I have done that on cab overs to get proper adjustments, never to ease the pedal effort. -
It is a strong woman that can use a fully mechanical clutch without forcing herself. -
actually. if you have the light duty clutch plate. it's real easy. it's the heavy duty clutch plates that suck.
and plates usually get weak. making an easier pedal.
i only sound negative with other comments sound negative first. then i fire back.
you push the pedal down. which moves a fork inside the transmission. the fork contains the bearing which sits against the plate. push the forrk, u push the bearing into the springs of the plate. it's the pressure from the plate that pushes the fork and bearing back. if the plate had weak springs. the clutch wouldn't be tight and would be slipping.
and fork and bearing wouldn't be pushed back into the fully rest position. -
