Heavy clutch pedal on supposedly easy pedal

The only way to check is to pull the transmission out and look at the part number on the clutch, but if you're going to go to that extreme you might as well replace the clutch. Unless you personally bought the clutch and brought it to him or saw the box and clutch when he installed it, there's no sure way to tell if a Easy Pedal Clutch was installed without dropping the transmission.

 

Ptb, has zerks on the clutch linkage. usually they have a remote grease plate on the frame. I would start there. It could be the linkage is out of adjustment and or worn out. The two zerks on the bell housing affect effort also. I had a guy look at the clutch in the used Ftlr. I bought because I was told it was a Lipe. The mechanic told me no you have a Easy-Pedal. I'm just telling you what I was told. I would think you could spin the motor over and get the clutch around and use a mirror to see the part no. I think on 1 of my former trucks I borrowed a remote camera with flexible head to look at why a clutch was giving me trouble.

 

On the 379's, the grease fittings only grease the shafts, not the hiem joints. That could be your squeak. Try spraying some penetrating oil on all the linkage end links and see if it helps.

There is also several length clutch rods that Pete used. The wrong length hurts leverage, we dealt with that on a 2000 Pete 377.

 

I'd call a dealer with you VIN and tell them your issue. The part #'s are stamped on the side of it. They could tell you if you have the right one for your truck. If it's correct, you have another issue.

 

most spicer easy pedal clutches have the push in release lock on the adjuster, if it has a removable loc tab its not an easy pedal
