A simple question and maybe a new idea

here new trucks have mostly 80N force required for clutch so this is 18lbs

i dont like too soft clutch , softest i have ever seen was on our ex. mb sk, you could press it with 2fingers of hand

 

and you cant feel grip point and truck jumps) LOL

Purchase and use)

just install hydrolic master cylinder, resrvour. install clutch plastic ore rubber line (designed for up to 50 bar), install servo, connect air line and use it

 

all components you see)

 

not just that but you have feeling that clutch collapsed ( like it is cylinder failure dont know how to explain this in english , but here when you say clutch collapsed everybody know what you mean)

personally i think man f2000 have best clutch i ever try , short stroke i dont like when you have to lift leg 20cm , nice hardness and accurate

especially since this is pretty old truck model

 

Float gears.....only use clutch when starting out and stopping.
It also totally extends the life of the clutch.



I drove a buddy's W900 and I swear the clutch almost required 2 feet to press.
There isn't anything special about my clutch but I was sure glad to be back in my own rig...

 

imagine timing the lights. and crawling your way so you don't have to stop.

i pulled a 80,000 load 1000 miles through a few towns and denver rush hour traffic. with no clutch pedal. also pulled a loaded tanker through cali traffic going to vegas. when i needed a nap. i made sure to park downhill. so i could crank the motor over to get her running again.

yes, the clutch went out once and was repaird. went out again 6 weeks later and got warranteed becuase the shop installed the wrong disc. so i was told.

 

I have a friend with an amputated left leg with an old E-Series Oshkosh. He fitted an air booster from a trailer to his clutch, with an air switch on his dash. After take off he just floated the gears.

 

when I drive EU cabover with air clutch servo I use it to start only. It is a good habit to float gears.

 

Prostars have hydraulic clutch with an optional air assist.
