Peterbilt 2007 bearing can't touch the clutch brake disc

Dear Forum

Hope you're all well.

Here i'm asking for your help to resolve this strange problem. My truck is a Pet 320 from 2007.

So here it goes....I bought a new eaton clutch model 208925-82, eaton clutch brake, a new fuller bearing cap and a new clutch release yoke. I followed the eaton clutch installation instructions and with the 0.5" gap from bearing to clutch brake it's impossible to brake the transmission ( the bearing never touches the clutch brake disc). My flywheel is in a very good condition with no signs of wear.

The only way (with the 0.5" manual eaton gap) to make the bearing touch the brake disc is removing the clutch cable and using a iron bar to push the transmission cable support....i measured with a ruler and the original cable (that works perfectly) only makes 2" and i need 2.5" to touch the brake disk.

Do you have any kind of idea of what could it be?



p.s -Sorry for my non technical English.

Thank you for your attention and help

Best regards from Panama

Dear BoxCarkidd

Thank you so much for all your advices...the thing is that i tryed everything...lower and upper clutch pedal ...pedal stop adjustment......

Everything is new except the input shaft and the flywheel...and the cable....tomorrow i will try with another cable because i think that you are right with the stretching...the cable has the same age that the car...8 years.

Best regards from Panama and thank u again
