Clutch pedal stays about 2" down from the top

I bought that Harbor Freight trans. jack.
It's a hope and a prayer but it works.
If you get it; change out the safety chains with heavier ones.
Couldn't see $1500.00 for a jack I will use maybe twice in my lifetime
You know anyone with a good one you could borrow?

 

I might know you!!??I was going to ask about renting one. Don’t want to tie up someone’s jack. I need to also do rear cover Detroit. I’m sure I could sell it used once for $225. Thanks

 

Better not I’ll jinx myself better keep under bunk so I’ll never need it!!

 

Just a note on my truck both ends are right hand threads. Fine threads and rod only had about 1/2 “ of threading on each end.Since they never get moved were froze up good . I chased threads after welding due to some debris. And lots anti seize.

 

I was trying to cover all the questions I had while trying to figure it out for myself .Watched a Midwest clutch video where he sets clutch at 1/2 in between cover and throwout calling it the “A” dimension. I guess just for initial setup and then adds thicker clutchbrake if needed. I suppose if flywheel had been wore and cut a bit? Anyway don’t know if all clutches need to be set up like this or just Midwest. It’s on Utube really threw me for a loop just when I thought I had it figured out.Ive always adjusted my own but never knew anything about measurements. Watch the videos on Utube there’s a lot to be desired then make your video explaining the mechanics of it all. All these do this do that etc . No one explains why?One guy didn’t even adjust clutch cause it’s in spec but doesn’t show anything it’s hilarious.
